Billy, however, is quicker than his dad and at a garden party, succeeds in winning Betty's consent to marry him, whereupon he places an engagement ring on her finger. Thereafter every time Pa calls on Mrs. Stuart, he finds Billy there ahead of him, making love to Betty. Finding that this interferes with his plan to win the widow, he conceives of a plan by which Billy can be eliminated for a while. He calls up an Insane Asylum, and has a doctor call and examine Billie as to his sanity, and tips him off to make out a certificate to the effect that Billy is "nutty." Billy, however, is on to Pa's game, and as soon as his back is turned, changes the certificate, substituting Pa's name for his own. The automobile arrives for the lunatic and Billy assists in dragging Pa into the machine, where he is speedily driven to the asylum and put in a cage full of "nuts,"' among them being a particularly funny one who imagines he is Napoleon, and makes things very uncomfortable for Pa. In the meantime, Billy confesses to Betty what he has done, who hastens to the asylum and has Pa released. She then phones Mrs. Stuart that she can tell her where Pa is. All ends happily, Mrs. Stuart and Pa falling into each other's arms, Billy and Betty following suit and a double wedding is the result. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
