Father won't hear of the affair, and summons his head clerk, Mr. Gayboy, whom, he announces, he has already picked out to marry his daughter. "It's only your father's bad liver which stands in our way," the young man confides to the broken-hearted Gloria. Next day Hubert kidnaps father and imprisons him in a tent in the woods. Father feeds on pills and fresh air. His whereabouts are discovered by a detective, hired by Mr. Gayboy, and a party rushes to his rescue. To the astonishment of all, father fights the entire squad, single-handed, and appears to be perfectly delighted with his new surroundings. Huber and Gloria arrive on the scene. "You have shown me the way to health," cries the ex-dyspeptic, shaking the young man warmly by the hand. "I congratulate myself, sir, on having won such a useful son-in-law." Gloria invites the whole party to an al fresco engagement luncheon on the mountain top. Written by
