Betty is engaged to Bob and everything was running smoothly until Betty went to spend a couple of days with her married cousin. Elsa had three children. Betty, for so long used to a quiet life, found it very hard to stand their noise and pranks. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, Betty catches the last car for town. In the car she discovers that Elsa’s youngest child, who had been playing with her purse, abstracted all the coin. She hasn’t even enough to pay her fare. The good-looking young chap who comes to her assistance proves a masher, and in this incident adds to her discomfort. Arriving home, her first act is to call Billy up to notify him that marriage is not a state of bliss and she has decided not to enter it! Billy, utterly disheartened, resolves to commit suicide. He has a rope about his neck, a bottle of poison in one hand and a revolver in the other, when the ‘phone rings. It is Betty who has called up to say that she has changed her mind again. With a whoop of joy, Billy fires the gun and pitches the bottle through the window!
