Shultz visits the wealthy widow at her cottage by the sea. He is accompanied by his two interesting kids, Little Beanie and Lillian. Shultz has a rival, one Binks. The widow, however, shows Binks plainly that she prefers Shultz. Now Tom, a dapper youth, is in love with Shultz's daughter, Lillian. Beanie catches the pair together, and knowing that dad objects, tattles on them. Dad, furious, leaves the widow's side and tells Tom a thing or two, to the delight of Beanie. Tom resents dad's actions and vents his feelings on Beanie, who swears vengeance. Lillian manages to elude dad and again joins her sweetheart. Tom prepares to take Lillian for a row. Beanie gets wise and bores a hole in the boat's bottom. Meanwhile Shultz has made a date with the interesting widow. Binks overhears and determines to be there too. Shultz comes across Beanie on the bench in glee at the distress of the young pair out in the boat. The day is hot and Beanie proposes that he and dad take a swim. They have no bathing suits, but that does not matter, as the spot is a secluded one. They are disporting themselves when a number of bathing girls appear and find the men's clothes. They make merry with them, dancing about and scattering the apparel. The horrified Schultz and Beanie have a fearsome time escaping detection. Then the widow appears to keep her date. Shultz in the water, is helpless. Binks appears and continues to press his suit with the widow. Shultz rages. Binks finds his pants and extracts the wallet and watch. Then Tom and Lillian swim ashore from the sunken boat. They meet the widow and Binks. Lillian recognizes dad's clothes. Tom spots Shultz, and wading out to him with his pants, offers them in return for Lillian's hand. Shultz simply has to agree. When he reaches the shore Binks sure gets his, and while the two happy couples are joyously embracing. Beanie manages to crawl out of the water and secure his own coveted pants.
