When the story opens, the wedding day has dawned and a few hours will see the pair husband and wife. Their dream of love is slightly dimmed by overhearing an imitation of their recent love scene by Ben, the bellboy, who is regaling Nat, his chum, but they get the boys fired and proceed on to their rooms. But the bellboys harbor a scheme of revenge and chance throws coincidence in their path. After the boys have changed their suits and sauntered down street, they come upon Nap and Sallie, the chimps, who are tied outside the tent of a little sideshow, dressed for their act. Ben and Nat steal the chimps and carry them to their rooms in the hotel, where they pack Nap in a box addressed to John from Sarah, and Sallie in a box addressed to Sarah from John. They take the boxes to their respective rooms and wait for the fun to commence. Now John and Sarah have their Terrible Secrets. John wears a wig and Sarah has false teeth, but so far each has managed to keep the distressing fact from the other. But with the advent of Nap and Sallie matters take a turn for the worse. Neither dares to express his or her real feelings toward the chimps on account of the unloyalty implied toward the loved one, but each is frightened almost to death at the new pet. Sallie gets hold of Sarah's false teeth and disappears with them onto a painter's scaffolding out the window, and Nap takes John's wig and drops it downstairs on the head of one of the painters, who is busy flirting with the cook. The minister and the guests arrive, but the distracted couple who are to be married are wringing their hands over their misfortune. At last they know that the fateful minute can be put off no longer, so John seizes a high hat, and Sarah pulls her bridal veil over the place her teeth ought to be and they sally forth. The guests see the strange actions of the bride and groom, but attribute them to embarrassment and the ceremony progresses. Sallie dabs the teeth in a can of red paint and leaves them on the bedroom floor to hide under the bed at the approach of a chambermaid. The maid sees the teeth in a pool of red and decides that Miss Sarah has been murdered. She exits, shrieking and waving the teeth. Meanwhile, the owner of the sideshow has discovered the loss of his chimps and traces the boys and animals to the hotel. He confronts Ben and Nat, and he and the boys, the painter and the maid break in upon the wedding. Explanations are made to the amusement of the guests and to the shame of John and Sarah, but the two decide that they love each other in spite of the physical deficiencies, and fall happily in one another's arms.
