Carol's father is of a gay disposition and starts a flirtation with the leading lady of a moving picture company. They take supper together, and "make a night of it." The next day the leading lady does not appear at the studio, and the company is compelled to take a day off. The director of the company is a friend of John's, and enters into a scheme to effect the marriage of John and Carol through a ruse. John secures a "parson" and a marriage license, and the movie company arranges to take a picture of a marriage ceremony on the front porch of Carol's home. The plan is carried out with Carol and John acting as the principals in the ceremony. Carol's father and Dick act as the witnesses. After the ceremony, Carol's father congratulates the "parson" on the realistic manner in which he has acted, and discovers that the ceremony is real. He is furious. The leading woman turns up and persuades him to accept the situation, which he finally does. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
