Hal Dart, his chum, plots with his sister, Grace, to give Merwin the adventure he seeks. Grace meets Merwin, refuses to give him her name and conducts him to a cottage that Merwin's clubmen friends have secured. There he sees a band of supposed counterfeiters, who are really Dart and other clubmen in disguise. He summons the police and after a battle he rescues Grace and carries her to safety. The clubmen explain matters to the police and then go to their club to nurse the bruises they secured during the fight. En route home, Merwin and Grace visit the club and tell the men that they were married immediately after Merwin "rescued" Grace. The boys win the bet, but Merwin believes that the real joke is on them, because he won a charming wife. Written by
