Burke writes a false letter inserting a proviso that Opp must not marry for two years in order to inherit his uncle's large fortune. This he substitutes for the original letter. Opp receives it and immediately ceases his attentions to Vivian. He carelessly drops the first page of the letter telling only of the fact that he has inherited $100,000 and Vivian and her mother discover it. They at once attempt to ensnare the newly rich Opp into marriage much to the discomfiture of Burke. They all go on a trip to Coney Island and have some side-splitting experiences on the roller-coasters and the chute-the-chutes. Vivian shakes Burke and clings to Opp. With Vivian's mother they go in bathing. While they are in the water Burke exchanges Opp's and mother's clothes in the bath-houses and they are forced to dress in each other's garments and give chase to Burke. Opp drops the second sheet of the fake letter on which Burke has written the clause which stated that Opp would lose the fortune if he married. Much to Burke's joy Vivian switches her affections to him after reading the letter that Opp has dropped. Opp is left completely out in the cold until Vivian discovers the real letter which makes that young man heir without a string tied to the legacy. Then nothing remains to obstruct the course of true love. The scheming Burke then finds himself in the discard.
