An irate father forbids his daughter to marry until she had received three proposals. The daughter and her lover scheme to supply the additional suitors very shortly. They accumulate a cabaret habitué and a nervous individual with large spectacles who is already engaged. The cabaret hound braves the old man in his den with the result that he is summarily dismissed after a succession of acrobatics. The spectacled youth is not easy to persuade, but at length is led to try his luck. Father at this juncture discovers the scheme, and at the point of a revolver forces his daughter to marry the wrong man, taking care that he gets an actor to take the part of the clergyman so the contract will not be binding. The lover attempts to break up the ceremony, first disguised as a cop, and then in a widow’s weeds.
