At a dance she corners Don, tries to get him to make love to her and gets into a quarrel with Edith over him. Don is almost out of the room when he hears Rosie proclaim that the man who marries her will get $100,000 on their wedding day. Immediately he determines not to let that fortune escape him. He leaves the icy-hearted Edith and dances with Rosie. All would have gone well with poor Edith had she not mentioned to George, who has just begged her for a dance, that Rosie is offering $100,000 to the brave man who marries her, for she suddenly finds herself alone. Don and George see Rosie home in a taxi, but both are suffering from a scarcity of change. Don feigns sudden cramps and George pretends to have hurt himself getting out of the car. Both are in great pain. Don calls on Rosie the next morning at 4.30 a.m., but insists on getting the money before they marry. Rosie fools him by giving him a check on a bank in which she has ceased to deposit. While waiting for the minister, Don sneaks away to cash the check, gets to the bank while a run is on and sees the sign reading "Bank busted; no more money." Meeting George, he gives him the check and tells him Rosie is waiting to marry him. George hastens to the minister's house. Don follows to enjoy the joke he is playing on his rival. Rosie and George are married and the two then go to the good bank. Outside Don looks on puzzled and collapses as he sees George and Rosie come out of the bank loaded down with money. Seizing a club, Don pounds his head until a policeman marches him off to the crazy house. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
