Emily, however, finds opportunity to pen Jack a note requesting him not to mind her horrid old aunt and that she will meet him in front of his house in an hour, when they will elope and be married. Aunty intercepts the note and plans to win Jack for herself. She goes to the young lady's room, makes her take off her auto cloak, hat and goggles and thus disguised, sallies triumphantly forth to beat her niece at her own game. Emily is resourceful, however, and opening her window, calls a tramp who is passing and by him delivers a note to Jack, advising him of her aunt's intentions. Jack and the tramp exchange clothes and when Aunty arrives, enters Jack's auto with the hobo and drives to the nearest Justice of the Peace where they are married. Jack and Emily enter just as the two are married and Aunty turning, sees where she has been fooled, and chasing the tramp out of the courtroom, runs him through the street to the docks. The last seen of him is when he plunges into the icy water. Aunty returns to the house in widow's weeds, where she finds her niece and her niece's husband, where she pours forth her tale of woe at the shortness of her married life.
