- Harry Stevens, fresh from college, aspires to the hand of rich Mrs. Thompson's daughter Alice. She is also very youthful and is fascinated by the handsome Harry. Mrs. Thompson, however, will not hear of her daughter marrying yet, and in order to break her infatuation is preparing to take her to Europe. After seeing the covers placed on her furniture, Mrs. Thompson goes out to spend the day bidding farewell to her friends. Alice sends a note to Harry that the coast is clear, and tells him to come around. Harry dons his glad rags in a hurry, and leaving his room like a bear garden is soon around chatting in the parlor with Alice. Time flies, and the maid rushes in to tell them that Mrs. Thompson is entering the home. Escape being impossible, Alice slips over him the cover of an armchair and Harry shapes himself to it. Mrs. Thompson has brought a lady friend with her and it is with difficulty that Alice greatly prevails on her to sit in some other chair than this presumed armchair. Another stouter and heavier friend arriving, however, Alice is not so fortunate and this mass of avoirdupois plumps into it. With difficulty Harry supports the weight, but cannot keep steady. This attracts the attention of all, and frightened, they rush from the room thinking it is something supernatural. No men are around and they are at a loss what to do. With Alice's assistance Harry climbs out of the window, and strolls up past the front of the house. His services are enlisted, and bidding them not to be afraid, he draws out his gun and enters the parlor, leaving the others at the door fearful for his safety. Once inside he hands his revolver to Alice, who fires shot after shot, while at each report he smashes some articles of furniture. Mrs. Thompson and her friends are then summoned in and Harry explains that he has laid the spirit. Delighted, Mrs. Thompson considers him her savior, and now on her knees implores him to marry Alice.—Moving Picture World synopsis
