So he writes a letter to his country nephew to come on and woo one of them and keep the money in the family. Tess and Trixie chance to see the letter he is writing and to protect themselves against their guardian's scheme they write their grandmother to come to their assistance. Both the grandmother and the country nephew chance to arrive on the same train. They get their suitcases mixed in the depot and each sets off to the home of Caleb Jones. The nephew comes to a stream, and being hot and dusty, decides to have a bath and swim. He does, and while in the water a tramp steals his clothes, so in coming out of the water the nephew is forced to put on the suit he thinks is in the suit-case. Opening it he discovers it is filled with feminine articles, a dress from which assortment he is forced to don in preference to his state of nudity. Having to wear the dress, he decides to affect the whole attire, bonnet, glasses and all, and he is soon a perfect counterpart of grandmama. He arrives at his uncle's and is welcomed by the girls as their grandmother, for they hadn't seen her for years. Then the same tramp who stole the clothes enters the home and holds up the crowd. The two fortune-hunters flee in fear, while the supposed grandma turns in and captures and ropes the hold-up tramp. Finally the real grandparent arrives and all is straightened out.
