The respective papas are invited to come on and congratulate the happy couple. Bob's father does not drink and Peggy's dad does not smoke. They meet on the train and get together, although neither knows the errand of the other. Their suitcases get mixed and when "Pop" Carter opens the wrong bag he finds a supply of booze which annoys him and the two old gents have a heated argument. On arriving at the home of the newlyweds they are duly introduced, but their tastes are unlike and everything causes a friction. Peggy's father is a great fisherman and Bob's father looks upon the game as all rot and nonsense. He borrows an auger and bores a hole in the boat that Ryan will use. The boat quickly fills with water and Ryan cannot swim. Carter, however, being a good swimmer, rescues him. The doctor is sent for and soon puts the two old men in fighting condition again. But harmony at length is restored. The two old gents embrace and smoke and drink until they fall peacefully to sleep as the newlyweds laugh at their papas. Written by
