After researching this film I read on one site that the story here is that the character Jack Darcy has been informed his great uncle wants to give him $50,000, but there is a catch - in order to get the money, he will have to wed Blossum within a year. Blossum is his uncle's friend's daughter. This doesn't seem to be such a horrible thing, until he meets Blossum and finds out she is obese. During the waiting period, he meets a young slim girl and falls for her, deciding not to take his uncle's money and wed the thin girl he's fallen in love with. When the uncle sees he's willing to forgo the money and defend his true love, he gives him the money anyway. The looser here is Blossum who cannot find a husband due to her weight.
The above information is paraphrased from the paper "NOBODY LOVES A FAT WOMAN: Portrayals of Female Obesity in Early American Cinema" by Joseph Kerr
