Freddy happens to do a favor for Aunty before she knows who he is and pretending to be taken with her, pays a visit to her home, but manages to quietly slip an explanatory note to Rose. He makes violent love to the old maid and she thinks he is going to marry her. When he whistles outside at dark, she thinks Freddy has come for her. She locks Rose in her room, and heavily veiled, goes out to meet Freddy. He does not recognize her and carries her off to the minister's. At the ministers he is dumbfounded to confront the angry judge, and still more dazed when aunty lifts her veil. Rose, meanwhile, has escaped and followed the couple and she arrives there just as Freddy desperately leaps out the window into her arms. He is caught, however, and Rose, refusing to listen to his explanation, Freddy breaks away and runs for life, pursued by the determined Aunty, while the judge leads Rose home by the ear.
