- Mrs. Brooks, a widow, has spent all her money in sending her son, Paul, to college and keeping up their splendid home in the west. She feels that it is now imperative that either Paul or her daughter, Hazel, marry wealth. She writes her son the following letter: "Dear Son, Col. Anderson is visiting in the neighborhood. He has a charming daughter whom I hope some day will be your wife. Spend your vacation at home and bring your chum with you. He will make an excellent 'catch' for your sister. Your loving Mother." Col. Anderson's daughter, Helen, is an heiress. Paul's chum, Van Allen, is also very wealthy. Paul is annoyed at his mother's scheming, but Van Allen is only amused when by accident he sees the letter. He insists upon Paul replying to her letter and saying that they will start west at once. They arrive and are met by Paul's boy friends. In the meanwhile, the widow's daughter has flatly refused to marry Van Allen and the Colonel's daughter is just as determined to refuse to marry Paul. The two girls quarrel over the situation and Helen, refusing to ride with the western girl, goes off driving by herself, only to have the horse run away. Paul, on his way home from the station, sees the runaway and dashes to the rescue and the two young people are not at all displeased with each other until they arrive at the Brooks' home and Helen becomes aware of the identity of her rescuer. The next day the Colonel and the widow try to effect a reconciliation between the four young people, without avail. However, Van Allen has an idea which, after coaxing, the young people agree to follow. This is to try and marry the Colonel and the widow, which will leave the young people free to do as they wish. The boys tell the Colonel that the widow just adores him, while the girls confide to the widow that the Colonel worships her. The widow is flattered and greatly pleased. The Colonel decides she is the one woman in the world for him. He proposes and is accented, greatly to the joy of the young people. Later, the Colonel and widow are to be married, but now that no one cares whether they marry or not. The four young people suddenly decide that they were made for each other, and the Colonel and the widow are delighted that their match-making has not been in vain and that wedding bells will ring for six instead of for two.—Moving Picture World synopsis
