Danny falls in love with Alice at first sight. but the course of true love is sadly disrupted by the pranks of Alice's young brother Eddie Quillan, and her father, Joe Young. Father orders Danny to leave his house and arranges to send Alice to visit her aunt in the city to save her from the perils of Petersboro. Aunt Barbara has a beautiful daughter. Thelma Parr, who, she hopes will marry the wealthy young artist--Danny O'Shea. Thelma is to pose for Danny and Aunt Barbara suggests that she take her little country cousin, Alice, with her so that Thelma may shine by contrast. When Danny recognizes Alice, however, Thelma and everything else is forgotten. In the meantime, Alice's father finds a picture of Thelma and Danny in a city paper, and realizes that he has sent his daughter right back to Danny. He and Eddie start immediately for the city and rush to Danny's studio. On his way into Danny's apartment, Eddie is intercepted by a bevy of pretty girls, who surround him, and in this unexpected predicament is discovered by his frantic parent. After rescuing Eddie from the sirens, Joe rushes into Danny and Alice, after a lively scene, falls into the pool. Danny and Alice make their getaway, calling back to the old man in the water-- "If you think Alice and I aren't going to be married, you're all wet!"
