- Mad with grief after the death of his Kiowa wife, Talbot awaits death under a tree with her body beside him. She begins to haunt him because he won't burn her. His father, who bought him the wife, thinks her sister might reason with him.
- Ethel's uncle receives a letter from his ward. Bob. That after six years spent in touring the world, he is coming home. He tells his guardian that he is tired of the social whirl and of silly girls who do nothing but talk, and that he will never marry until he finds a girl with a silent tongue. Reading this letter, Ethel is at first indignant over the way Bob speaks of girls. She tells her guardian that she wants him to tell Bob that she was thrown out of a boat a year before, and that ever since then she has been deaf and dumb. He promises his support. When Bob arrives, he is greatly impressed by Ethel's appearance, but is astounded to hear of the "accident." Ethel keens up the deception and compels Bob to communicate with her by writing his messages on a pad. Finally Bob remembers having heard that, when certain afflictions are the result of an accident or shock, a similar accident or shock may restore the afflicted one to the normal state. He hits upon a plan and invites Ethel to go out with him for a boat ride. As soon as they are out in deep water. Bob stands up and starts rocking the boat, which is overturned. The moment she rises to the surface, after going under for the first time, Ethel emits a loud call for "Help." Bob realizes that his scheme has been successful and swims with her back to land. Still keeping up the deception Ethel tells him how delighted she is at having her speech and hearing restored, and Bob, assuring her that he is equally delighted at the way the "accident" has turned out, loses no time in gaining her consent to become his wife.
- Bob, a precocious young man, after touring the world for ten years and feeling the responsibilities of life, having had many wide and varied experiences, decides to return home and accordingly writes a letter to that effect and among other things, mentions that he is tired of giddy society girls who talk, talk, talk and emphatically says that he will never marry until he finds the girl with the silent tongue. His uncle, a retired merchant with a jovial disposition, shows the letter to his daughter Dorothy, a most attractive young lady, whom Bob has not seen since her childhood days. At first she is inclined to resent what Bob says in his letter, but on second thought she decides that a little trick to relieve him of his self-confidence would not at all be bad; her father agrees with her, promising to aid her in carrying out her little joke. She then procures an ear trumpet and upon Bob's arrival pretends to be very deaf and quite dumb. In due time Bob arrives, sees a portrait on the wall of his uncle's freckled-face little daughter, as he knew her, inquires about her and is informed that a recent illness left her deaf and dumb. When Bob meets the young lady instead of a freckled-face girl he sees before him a beautiful young miss. So fascinated is he with her beauty that he forthwith falls head over heels in love with her. But how lamentable that she is deaf and dumb and how laughable are the fruitless struggles and trials he has with the ear trumpet, making him unhappy and sad, while she is bubbling over with glee at his discomfiture. Finally, however, the tables turn; during one of her unguarded moments while holding an animated conversation with her father. Bob overhears her and is almost struck dumb himself: quickly recovering, he slips up beside her, catching her in the act of speaking quite fluently. The joke is now on her and her perplexity and embarrassment make her all the more beautiful to him, and finding that his love is reciprocated he takes advantage of the opportune moment and the happy day is named.
