Father...See moreRoscoe writes of his love and announces that he will call on Irene with the ring and ask her parents' consent to their marriage. Father and Mother are willing, but decide to give Roscoe a scare before accepting him for a son-in-law. Father assumes a gruff attitude but melts at the right time and Roscoe departs in high glee to prepare for a masked ball at which the engagement is to be announced. Irene jokes him about his size but he warns her that he will fool her by the mystery of his disguise. On the way home in his automobile Roscoe drives over a cliff and is taken to a hospital. There he is, out of his mind, as the guests begin to assemble at the ball. At about this time, however, a well-fed tramp is put to work in the kitchen by the cook, who is short of help and has a large party to feed. Irene wanders into the kitchen and immediately singles out the tramp as her Roscoe. The stranger permits himself to be led to the buffet and later does a dance for the guests. One of the professional dancers is a crook, whose companion robs as she entertains. But he bungles a job and is caught. Before he bounds away from his pursuers after slipping the necklace to his confederate. At this point the real Roscoe arrives, clad in a hospital nightshirt. He has awakened to find himself surrounded by beautiful nurses but has fled at the suggestion of an operation. He leads the chase after the woman while the tramp is buffeted about during the pursuit of the man through the grounds. Weary from his exertions, the tramp sits down near a gutter spout just as Roscoe breaks into the room above. To avoid being caught with the goods, the woman crook drops the necklace down the spout. The tramp picks it up and gets the reward. As the returned Roscoe is being warmly welcomed by Irene, his double and his pal Joe split 50-50 on the reward and head for the nearest restaurant.
