Later Pa goes to sprinkle the lawn and is again made to appear a roué by an accident which wets the maid's shoes. The maid follows the music teacher as a result of Ma's jealous wrath and Pa now flares up in righteous indignation. The arrival of young Ray Rox causes the family to assume an attitude of angelic calm, however, as he is the chap they have picked for Marcia's future husband. Marcia has her own ideas of that, however, and after decisively snubbing the young millionaire, she sneaks away to the beach with her sweetheart Bobby. Ray, however, informs Ma that if the engagement is not immediately announced he will have no more to do with them, so Ma gets busy at once. Pa in the meantime has gone to the beach for a dip in the briny, and coming upon the maid, attempts to square himself in her eyes. He is seen seated beside the maid in his bathing suit by Bobby and Marcia and the young folks take a snapshot of the apparently spooning couple. Bob now realizes he has a weapon of weight and on the night of the engagement announcement the young man sneaks into the home and after quietly showing the photo to Pa, threatens to show it to Ma if his own engagement to Marcia is not immediately announced. Pa at once makes much over Bob, his son-in-law to be, while the two young lovers secretly enjoy the trick they have played, and bring about a happy reconciliation between Ma and Pa.
