Next morning Mrs. Jones goes out early to feed the chickens and falls into a lengthy conversation with her neighbor. Jones wakes to find a crowd enjoying the unusual spectacle. He rushes to the front door, and finds it locked. The crowd grows. A small boy appears and "sics" his dog on Jones. Jones leaps off the veranda and flees chased by the crowd. Coming to the minister's house he seeks refuge there, finding the door open. The minister and his wife have just left the house. Jones runs upstairs to the minister's bedroom gets a suit of the minister's clothes and is about to make a getaway when a policeman and his intended bride appear. Jones, afraid to refuse, hunts up a prayer book and does the best he can to perform the ceremony. Jones kisses the bride, the cop hands him a fee, and Jones makes a second attempt to escape when an auto stops in front of the house and a bishop appears. Jones pretends to be a guest, tells him to make himself at home and beats it, only to run into the policeman who, with Mrs. Jones, is looking for the lost husband. The cop is frantic when he learns of the fake ceremony, but finding the bishop is a real minster, he jumps into an automobile, gets Maggie, and they are married by the bishop with Jones and his wife as witnesses.
