Meanwhile, their fathers meet elsewhere and find that they are old friends. Without consulting the young people, the fathers lay plans to have them marry. So fathers and children come to cross-purposes as always happens when a parent tries to guide or restrain young love. Neal wishes to "queer" himself with the girl his father has picked out, so writes her a fresh note asking her to meet him in the park. She accepts and takes her cook as a substitute. But Neal has taken Prof. Mixer as his substitute, and the professor gets fresh with Betty, while the cook tries to make love to Neal. This of course, does not better the situation. Betty goes home and reports that she has been insulted by "Neal," so her father says he will punish him. To get ready to do so, father calls in Prof, Mixer to give him boxing lessons. All this time the cook is pursuing Neal. Betty comes in, sees the professor and says that he is the one who got fresh. Just about this time the cook drags in Neal as per her instructions, with Neal's father close behind. "There's the man I want to marry," says Betty. "That's the man I picked for you," her father replies, and it takes only a minute for Neal and Hetty to "get together," while father smiles wisely. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
