- A happy young couple are enjoying life in a beautiful country home where they have the permission of a rich old uncle to occupy the place as long as they desire, without the usual consideration of rental fees. They are just about settled when the old fellow gets an opportunity to lease the place to another party at a very large price. The pecuniary consideration is too much for the old man to let pass, so he gives his nephew short notice to vacate. Feeling that he has a right to stay, the young man, in order not to appear arbitrary in the eyes of his uncle, makes up his mind to do everything possible to disgust, the prospective tenants with their bargain. Before the latter arrives the occupants smash the windows, nick the walls, and make the place appear as bleak as possible. When the new tenants come to take possession they notice all the disadvantages, and with the windows broken they are compelled to retire in order to keep warm. The scheming young couple put sheets over their heads and go up to the strangers' room and frighten them out of their wits with their ghost walk. When morning dawns the people are thoroughly disgusted, so pack up their belongings, leaving the place to the contented couple, who are glad to be alone.

This unfortunate affair is seen by Bill's rival, who immediately makes capital of it. He effects the rescue of the father and determined to humiliate Bill further, forces the former owner of the animal to refund the purchase price.
