Pa Throp disapproves, refuses to come to the marriage and finally goes abroad with his wife, leaving Jimmie in the beautiful home but with no money. Jimmie, not to be outdone, soon has a brilliant idea. He secures a loan of $50 on his father's furniture, fires the butler, marries Marjory, and gets a job. Soon his good fortune changes, and the family furniture is removed to the dealer for Jimmie's lapse of payments on the loan, leaving the Throp mansion barren of furnishings. Jimmie now rents a cozy flat, and, the next morning, tells Marjory to go downtown and buy some new furniture. Marjory's mother now appears and tells Marjory to buy the new furniture and charge it up to her as a wedding present. Marjory goes to the furniture store, orders the furniture and it is sent up in the van. At about the same time old Throp and his wife return from Europe and are horrified to find their house missing its furniture. Perplexed, they set out for a ride, see a rooms for rent sign on the door of a building, enter and are confronted by Marjory. They are about to leave when Jimmie blows in and old Throp suddenly recognizes the new furniture as his own, Marjory having bought it unawares. Matters are getting hot when Jimmie introduces his wife, they finally prevail on the old folks to join them at dinner, forgiveness is granted and happiness reigns once more.
