The color of the flower is white and royal purple and when seen upon the vines with the green foliage surrounding it, it makes a pretty sight. Around this flower is centralized the idea of this comedy but it has however, no connection with its religious significance. The scenes are laid in Bermuda and deal with the romantic love affair of a young lady tourist and her three ardent admirers, one of them being an English army officer. Each of these gentlemen in question is desirous of winning the heart and hand of the young heiress but having three strings to her bow, she is quite undecided which one has really won her admiration. While riding to the races on Fair Day she chances to see the blossom of the passion flower in a nearby garden and immediately expresses her desire to possess it, to her waiting admirers. The possession of this flower proves for more troublesome than they had anticipated, and after many efforts to fulfill her wish, they are forced to admit defeat. Nevertheless, during the course of the day, each one in turn succeeds in asking for her hand and each one is interrupted at the critical moment, and so by evening, they are in doubt as to which one will prove to be the lucky gentleman. With the caprice of a woman she writes a note to the man of her choice, stating that if he will meet her at a certain spot on the following day she will give him her answer. This letter is given to the daughter of a livery stable owner to deliver to the gentleman whose name is on the envelope. Curiosity gets the better of the little maid and while she is reading the contents of this epistle of love, the envelope, containing the name of the gentleman, is carried away by the winds and eventually finds its resting place in the interior of a hungry goat browsing upon the hillside. The little maid, not having the slightest idea to which of the three gentlemen the note belongs, is in a quandary what to do, but at last hits upon a plan and so, to make matters sure, she cleverly contrives to have each one of the gentlemen secure the note in turn, thereby starting a series of humorous situations which follow rapidly one upon the other and terminate in two gentlemen finding lodgings in a country jail, while the English officer proceeds to make arrangements for his forthcoming marriage to the heiress.
