Two mischief-makers learn of the intentions of a couple who apply for a marriage license at the mayor's office, and resolve to have a hand in it. They steal into the mayor's office before it is opened for business, and with the aid of several sheets and the ingenious employment of plenty of string they gain control of all the furniture. When the party arrives the chairs move from under them as they try to sit down and they fall to the floor. As the august mayor is about to write at his desk it becomes animated, for the mischief-makers had substituted large boxes in which they conceal themselves. After raising more havoc with the party the fellows suddenly appear as ghosts enveloped in white sheets, and their unsuspecting victims rush pell-mell from the office.
