Father Bunk is a wealthy old fellow who is thoroughly alive to the advantages of riches. He has a very pretty little daughter whom he has decided shall marry no other than a young man of exalted social position. Accordingly, when a count arrives in town Bunk immediately sends an invitation to the nobleman to attend a party in honor of his daughter. Daughter learns of the scheme and asserts herself vehemently that she will marry whom she pleases. Daughter, in preparation for the party, has started on a shopping tour. On the way she is accosted by two ruffians who attempt to snatch her purse. The act is witnessed by young Hardy who rushes to her rescue, driving away the would-be robbers. The meeting is a case of love at first sight. Miss Bunk confides in Harry the intention of her father to marry her to the count. Together they scheme to get rid of the annoying peer. At the party the count is present in all his glory. Harry gains access to the Bunk house garbed in girl’s clothing loaned by Miss Bunk, and by posing as a friend of the hostess. His efforts to humiliate the count and cause him to leave the house are somewhat awkward and end in a fistic battle, in the progress of which Harry’s wig is torn from his head and his scheme is exposed. Angered at the disturbance created by Harry, Bunk and the count snatch the tormentor by feet and shoulders and throw him through the window. Though bruised and battered, and with the joke on him, Harry appreciates the situation and has a big laugh at his part in it.
