- Wealthy globe-trotter Winthrop Gray was much disturbed by the receipt of a telegram from his Aunt Adelia requesting him to come to San Francisco and act as representative of the family and best man to his cousin, Upton Phillips. Winthrop is the only available relative and agrees to carry out his part with bad grace. He receives a cool reception at his cousin's place, for Upton is not at home and has failed to leave any word regarding the expected relative. Before leaving, however, Gray inquires of the butler the fiancée's address, and the butler, surprised, tells him Miss Henry's address before thinking. Gray reaches the house and makes himself known. The relations between Gray and his cousin have not been the best. As a lad, Upton had been egotistical and self-serving, traits that have followed him to manhood. Knowing his cousin as he does, Gray could imagine the girl to whom he was engaged being some shallow-headed, giddy, butterfly sort of girl, caring only for the present. His surprise was very great upon meeting Miss Henry, and her cordial reception of the only representative of the family present made friends between them at once. They had talked but a short while until Gray noticed an underlying sadness in the girl's voice whenever she spoke of the marriage. She unconsciously let drop several hints that the marriage was a loveless one, being for practical purposes only. Gray leaves the girl that night with a desire to help her but does not know how to do so. Not knowing anyone especially and not caring for the usual round of theaters, he decides on a trip through the Barbary Coast. Not knowing the place to which he sets out, however, Gray wears his evening clothes and several valuable articles of jewelry. Miss Henry and Upton are dining at one of the large cafés after the theater. She noted near them several lively parties. Her particular notice was called to a bunch of city sports. Upton's attention is attracted by a lively bunch nearby and he recognizes one of the girls as an old acquaintance of his. Edith has reproached Upton for his neglect of his cousin and her remonstrances lead to a small quarrel. Thinking to punish her, Upton leaves her for the table of his friends. Some time later she sees Gray wandering about dazed. His clothing shows signs of hard usage. The bunch of men nearby notice him and suggest that he be invited to join them to see the town. The girl realizes it is for no good to him that they wish him to join them, and with the assistance of one of the waiters she succeeds in getting him to a taxicab. The men follow them out and pursue the fleeing taxicab. Their driver eludes them and the girl has Gray taken to the home of her godmother, where the expected wedding is to take place. Gray still acts dazed, and the girl, fearing he is in a serious condition, tries vainly to revive him to a knowledge of the present. Fearing to leave him alone, she sits up the greater part of the night and at daybreak she lies down on a couch to rest and falls asleep. She awakes several hours later in terror, fearing all sorts of accidents may have befallen her patient. She is reassured when her knock is answered by the cheery voice of Gray, who demands to know where he is. She explains how she brought him from the hotel and tells him of his strange condition. He is very embarrassed, believing that she thinks he was merely drunk. He then tells her of having been doped and robbed of all his valuables. He realizes the position the girl is in on his account, and suggests that the only way out of the matter is to marry her. She does not agree. The real idea of the marriage of the girl and Upton was to relieve the girl's family to some extent as well as to help out the younger children, and the girl, though it means sacrificing herself, refuses to disappoint her family. Gray overrules her objections, however, and finally confesses that it has been a case of love at first sight with him, and impetuously tells the girl of his love. With a glad cry she asks him why he had not said so in the beginning. Gray is energetic, and soon has a license and a preacher, and also makes arrangements to sail on the steamer that evening. As the ceremony cannot be performed without witnesses, the two are in a quandary. This is easily remedied, however, for Upton, the girl's mother, and the balance of the family, worrying about the girl's absence, come in a bunch to the house and are welcomed by Gray, who blandly suggests that Upton act as his "best man." While the surprise is a shock to everyone, Upton is glad of the opportunity to withdraw from his engagement. Gray and the girl hasten to catch their boat, followed by the good wishes of everyone.

- Shortly before sailing home from Europe, George Hayne had sent Cecilia Jefferson, his American fiancée, the reassuring word that by marrying her he would save her family from financial extremity. To Cecilia's way of thinking and feeling, the marriage is to be only an act of self-immolation. The liner is long overdue, and by the time Hayne reaches his house in a carriage, the bride is waiting at the church. Hayne, in his haste to don his nuptial garments, forgets to set the snap-lock, and finds himself a prisoner in his clothes closet. While he was homeward bound, his next-door neighbor Holman, a financial crook, had stolen an important Secret Service cipher message from its bearer. Gordon, a Secret Service agent, is assigned to recover the message, and under the name of John Burnham, contrives to be introduced to Holman as an expert code reader. At Holman's house, he substitutes a bogus message for the genuine one, and leaves just as Holman discovers the substitution. Gordon sees the carriage in front of Hayne's house, and orders the sleepy driver to take him away quickly. The driver, who has paid small heed to Hayne's identity pays still smaller attention to Gordon's physical make-up promptly obeys, and knowing that Hayne is to be taken to the church, speeds Gordon thither. In the carriage, Gordon puts on a mustache and an imperial, thereby unconsciously making himself resemble Hayne most closely. At the church, he is mistaken for Hayne, and as duty suggests he goes through the marriage ceremony.

Meanwhile, Holman's detective snugly tucks himself in bed, when a defect in the driving-wheel of the engine is discovered. With the train at a standstill, Gordon sees his way to escape with Cecilia. They cautiously leave the Pullman and race wildly down the embankment. Before he can put on his clothes the train starts, and the detective's errand is abruptly ended. Despite his efforts to prove his identity, Hayne is looked upon as an impostor by the Jeffersons and their friends. Gordon and his wife proceed to Washington, where, for his clever bit of work, he is appointed Chief of the Foreign Secret Service Bureau. This good news and a rapidly-acquired love for Gordon bring full content to Cecilia.
