Railroad Station, Bobby Tucker spies Nan Tubbs, a charming young lady whom her father and mother are very anxious to marry off to some rich young man. While waiting for a train she smiles at Bobby and he smiles back. Papa catches them at it, and horrified, hustles her away, after delivering a severe lecture on the subject of flirting. A few minutes later Pa Tubbs happens to pick up a sheet of paper on which Bobby had been industriously "figgering," and finds written on it, "My profit $50,000." Deciding that the young man must be a millionaire in disguise, Pa Tubbs immediately makes amends by introducing his daughter to Bobby, who is rather bewildered, but tells them, "My father is Major-Gen. Tucker." This augments the young man's prestige, and he is invited to spend a week at the Tubbs' home. During his visit Pa makes the unpleasant discovery that Bobby's father is a Major-General in the Salvation Army, and that the "figgers" on the sheet of paper represent Bobby's profits if he wins a lottery ticket. After calling the young man a fraud, Papa angrily chases Bobby from the place. Next morning Tubbs learns from his newspaper that Bobby Tucker is the lucky winner of the $50,000 lottery prize. Papa and Mama now throw another kind of fit. They rush to Nan's room and find her gone. A note left on the table notifies them that Nan and Bobby have eloped. After a moment of dumb surprise they hear the young newlyweds returning. Pa's warm greeting almost takes Bobby off his feet. Bobby, as yet unaware that he has won the lottery, is tremendously puzzled by it all and simply smiles. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
