It opens with a library scene, an old man with a gouty foot sitting on one side of the table, his wife on the other. Their daughter and her lover enter. The young man wants to marry the girl. The mother shakes her head; the old man violently refuses. The lover tries to argue, but is sternly ordered away. He goes, leaving his sweetheart in tears, but resolves to have the girl at all hazards. The lovers meet in a suburban lane and are planning an elopement when the old man surprises them, drives the young man away and takes his daughter home. At night the persistent young man drives up to the house in a runabout. The girl, who is evidently aware of the scheme, runs out, jumps into the buggy, and the couple drive off. A justice of the peace, who has been let into the scheme, emerges from the bushes and starts the marriage ceremony, when an automobile comes along. The angry parents, who are its occupants, see the couple, divine the intention, alight and stop the proceedings. The girl is taken borne. The lover is again foiled. From a lane leading toward the young lady's home, she is seen lounging in a hammock. The lover appears, leading two horses. The girl is summoned, mounts a horse, and with the young man starts away. The guardian informs the father and he starts off after the fleeing pair. The couple grasps a justice of the peace, the young man lifts him on his horse and they ride on. The justice marries the persistent couple as they are riding at breakneck speed. The ring is passed to the girl and they are soon pronounced man and wife. The angry father rides up and is informed that they are married at last. He rages, then calms and gives his blessing. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
