- Any man loved by two girls is apt to find himself in an embarrassing position, but in Richard Lee's case the situation was rendered the more susceptible of trouble in that the girls were sisters and that he was in love whole-heartedly with but one of them. At last he mustered up courage to buy an engagement ring and prepared to ask Mabel Benton the fateful question. Mabel, who was ready enough to make him the happiest man in the world, was sidetracked by her sister Grace, who was laboring under the erroneous impression that she was the real object of Dick's attentions, and Dick, innocently seized with chills that ever affect true lovers, neglected to state that Mabel was the girl the ring was intended for. Grace, misunderstanding the silence, determined to help him along and bethought her of the Leap Year privilege and calmly proposed to the astounded and abashed Dick. Mabel's heart was broken and Dick, engaged to the wrong girl, ready to commit suicide. Now Dick's father, exiled for business reasons ten years in Australia and unknown to the Benton family, was on his way home, and Dick, thrown into contact with a tramp, of habits alcoholic, unclean and unethical, determined on a desperate expedient to force Grace to release him from his engagement. His plan of passing off the disreputable and thieving old bum as his father caused a series of complications that while distinctly humorous, nearly landed Dick in jail, but the opportune arrival of his real parent saved the situation after Grace had repudiated her engagement and tender-hearted little Mabel had flown to Dick's rescue, no matter how terrible his father appeared.
