He is pleased at the prospect but absolutely helpless, as he has always avoided the companionship of the fair sex and now that he must seek it he knows not where to turn. An advertisement catches his eye. "Marry at once," commands the ad, "Enroll lit the Happywed Matrimonial Agency." Whiffles does so, and although he is a source of amusement to the male applicant at the agency, one female spouse seeker finds that the backward Whiffles measures up to her ideal in every way. Her name is Martha Marvin. She is as coy as Whiffles is bashful. She tells Whiffles she likes him, and more than that, she asks him to call. The next day, at the appointed time, Whiffles is ushered into Martha's home and lovingly welcomed by her. But Mr. Marvin's reception is of a different order. "Take the boob away," he orders. Murtha pleads, but a glance from the old gent is sufficient for Whiffles. Exit the lover. Mr. Marvin, however, regrets his treatment of Whiffles the very next day when he learns that the bashful bachelor is wealthy, for money matters are rather strained with Mr. Marvin. He so informs his daughter. Martha communicates the information to Whiffles and with hope high in his heart and a firm resolve to be avenged, Whiffles renews the quest for the heart and hand of Martha. How different now is the reception accorded him by Mr. Marvin. But the sting of Marvin's previous insult is still rankling in Whiffles' heart. His treatment of the older man is anything but kind and the father is evidently nurturing an ambition to square accounts later on. But Martha gives her promise to Whiffles, so "He Should Worry."
