George is the father of a pretty girl and Harry of a manly boy. Their dream is that the children, who have not seen each other since babyhood, shall wed. When the youngsters arrive home from their boarding schools the matter is broached by each parent, and in each case the proposal is received coolly. The fathers confer and a scheme is hatched. Harry tells Neal he must marry and settle down or leave the paternal roof. The butler tells him of a place where a chauffeur is needed. It happens to be George’s livery that Neal dons, but he does not know it. Mutual interest soon springs up between Betty and her handsome chauffeur. This is bitterly opposed by George, and he hires a detective to watch them. The obstacles only ripen their love and they elope, furiously pursued by the parents, who remain a safe distance behind, enjoying the joke. Then Neal and Betty learn that the old heads were wiser than the young hearts and that in pleasing themselves they have made their fathers happy as well.
