After Mrs. Rooney has fitted the sleeve and the veil, she urges her husband to get out and apply for a job as hod carrier at a new building nearby. He goes and is hired. In her haste to get to Mrs. Rooney's to try on the dress, Marion passes under a ladder which Rooney is climbing, laden with bricks. She happens by just in time to stop a shower of bricks which Rooney has been unable to juggle. The bricks bound off her head, and Rooney comes down to investigate. Laborers and bystanders pursue the unfortunate Rooney, but he eludes them, and, after the boss has assured Marion he will discharge Rooney, she leaves. Rooney is discharged. He is at home on the day of the wedding and Mrs. Rooney is trying the wedding gown on him. He is extremely uncomfortable with the gown about his shoulders and the veil dangling down his back. Marion enters hurriedly to try on the gown at the last minute. Rooney sees her, and acknowledging the recognition with a wild shriek, leaps from the window, gown and all. Artie and the guests are waiting impatiently for the bride, but there is no bride in sight. Father Boon, who has promised Artie an appreciable sum to start him in business providing he takes the bride, is among the rest, apprehensive and doubtful, alternately. He was passing through the town on a business trip and stopped off for a day to see his son's bride. Consequently, it was up to Artie to do something in the way of marriage if he wanted the gratuity. In the meantime, Rooney has struck the broad highway with the gown. Marion and Mrs. Rooney join in the chase. Policemen, loiterers, women, boys and automobiles make up the procession in Rooney's wake. Artie decides to see for himself what is delaying the bride. In his automobile he overtakes Rooney, and after pushing a ten-dollar bill into his hand, persuades him to accompany him and play the part of the bride. At Marion's home Father Boon is fast asleep waiting for the bride. The guests are let in on the joke, and the minister's palm is greased so that there is not even one obstacle in the way. Artie's father is awakened, and after he kisses the "bride" through "her" veil the ceremony is performed. At this moment Marion and Mrs. Rooney burst in. The latter proceeds to beat up her husband and explanations are in order. Father is a good sport and writes out a check for $10,000. Mrs. Rooney gets a "wedding present" of several new bills and her wrath is turned away. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
