Tom, of the Peaches and Cream Musical Comedy Company, sees Flo at the beach and decides then and there that she would be a wonderful acquisition for the stage. He learns her address and by his glowing description induces the manager of the show to accompany him to her house. Before he arrives, however, Peter, and his daughter have received word that Ezra, their wealthy Quaker uncle, is coming to visit them and "hopes to see you living the peaceful Quaker life." Peter and Flo immediately don the somber garb and daring statuary and playing cards are hidden from view. When Tom and the manager enter they find, not the pretty and gay Flo of the beach, but a somber unattractive maiden. The manager voices his vigorous disappointment and leaves in a rush. Ezra arrives to find the personal appearance of his cousins satisfactory, though he is a bit uneasy over finding of a playing card, a liquor decanter, and the discovery of the daring art objects. Tom, smitten with Flo's charms, returns in Quaker costume, determined to go the limit to win her. But he is surprised to meet Flo once more in gay array, for when the elder men temporarily left the room she determined to visit the manager herself. More complications follow, and life from then on is a quick change of clothes and temperament back and forth for Flo before Tom and Ezra prevail on father to allow Tom to marry her that he might teach her to mend her ways and be more dignified and sedate.
