Nellie's father is perfectly willing to lose his daughter, but stipulates that the first of her two suitors to raise $1,000 will be favored. Izzy rigs up a dummy and puts it in the way of a passing automobile at a turn in the road. After a motor party has run over the dummy, Izzy substitutes himself and then asks for damages. In this way he collects over a thousand dollars. Chester is left $1,000 by a rich uncle and comes tearing along in his car to Nellie's house when he apparently runs over Izzy. He pays over his thousand, but later becomes suspicious and just as the knot is about to be tied comes running in with the police and the dummy. Izzy is exposed and arrested. Chester's money is returned and he and Nellie are united. Written by
