A swell-dressed young man is assisting a charming girl down the steps and oblivious to their surroundings is foolishly attentive to her. The other guests are convulsed with laughter at the foolish actions of the couple and when they start off, follow unnoticed. The lovers take a boat, row out to a quiet nook and the young man tries to propose. Suddenly the hotel guests in other boats peep around the corner and take snapshots to the discomfiture of the young chap. He takes his girl ashore, wanders a short distance and again gets busy. More hotel guests with cameras come upon them; the proposal is off for the second time, and they start off again. The girl climbs upon a rock and starts reading, when Chappy falls on his knees and begins again. Up from behind the rock hop several guests and take more snapshots. The couple select a quiet spot in the woods and the young fellow takes up his task again. Once more he is surrounded by guests and they start for another place. Everywhere they go and at every proposal an interruption occurs. They finally return to the hotel to find the guests sitting on the porch very much unconcerned. The young man having been balked all along the line takes his girl to the roof, where he proposes and is this time accepted. He is so overjoyed that he slips and falls to the ground. The guests run out, find him unhurt and show him the different poses they have snapped. The girl tells Chappy not to mind, fondly embraces him while the jokers give three cheers.
