- Liza Sniggs. a country maid, is engaged to Hi, a rube. She flirts with Jerry, a burglar, who has rented a house in the neighborhood for a week's rest. Hi is angered at Liza for flirting and she breaks the engagement. Jerry observes Sniggs, Liza's wealthy and stingy father, counting his money out of a tin box, and Jerry immediately makes up his mind to marry Liza. Jerry and Liza meet and he asks her to go for a walk just as Hi comes up. Hi tries to make Liza give up Jerry, but the latter pushes Hi's face out of the way and walks off with Liza. He follows the two and observes Jerry propose. Liza accepts Jerry, who then presents her with a ring taken from a big hand full of them. The two then go to get Sniggs' consent to the marriage, and Hi watching through the window sees Sniggs agree to the wedding. Hi then retires to his yard and saws off a big club with which to beat up Jerry. Armed with the club, Hi goes to call on Jerry, but finds he has gone. The door is open and Hi enters. Looking about the place he finds a closet full of wigs and clothing of all kinds. Looking out of the window Hi sees Jerry kissing Liza. Angered, he goes forth with his club, but is frightened off. Hi returns to Jerry's house and arrays himself in one of the dresses. He gets several kids to go with him to the minister's, where he meets Jerry and Liza and represents himself and the children as Jerry's wife and family. Old Sniggs in the meantime finds his cash box has been rifled. He calls a constable and goes after Jerry. They arrive at the minister's house, matters are explained, Jerry is arrested, and Liza marries Hi.—Moving Picture World synopsis
