He meets the girl, but their tete-a-tete is interrupted by the girl's father and the father's favorite suitor for the girl's hand. When Jerry picks himself up, he meets the girl again, and, with the aid of the kid, they lay plans to elope. The boy is to disguise himself in the girl's clothes and lead the pursuers astray, while the girl, in the boy's clothes, is to meet Jerry and get married. The scheme would have worked if only the kid brother had not been caught trying to go in swimming, and if the minister had not been out of town when the young couple called. Thus it is that Jerry and the girl are forced to go to a hotel, and the landlord tells them there is only one room vacant. Jerry excuses himself with the landlord from occupying his share of the room by declaring that his "little brother" snores. While he is trying to make himself comfortable in the hotel office, Alkali Pete arrives, and at the points of his guns demands a room. In desperation the landlord is forced to give Pete the half of the room occupied by the "kid," and then things happen; Jerry, the girl, Alkali Pete, the girl's father, and the favored suitor, who arrive on the scene, the landlord, and the landlord's wife get into a mixed up running fight, which ends by Jerry and Pete being led off under arrest, and the girl receiving a proper spanking by her father's slipper.
