Phil and Charlie, in love with Sally, are in despair when they hit upon a plan to try to get her into their booth. They make love to her until Phil opens and reads a telegram addressed to Sally. In it Takeing Ways, attorney-at-law, informs the diver that she is the heiress to $50,000 left by her aunt. To steer Charlie from her, Phil hits on the plan to rewrite the telegram, making Miss Carryflesh the heiress, and when Charlie sees this, sure enough, straightway to Rev. Dr. Jones does he and the weighty one march. When he discovers that Sally is the heiress, he hates Phil. Sally, informed of her legacy, takes a satchel all filled with greenbacks over to her husband's tent, Phil following and receiving a surprise on learning that she is already wed. Consternation follows when he grabs the money and runs away. The entire outfit of side-shows give chase. Phil succumbs when the valise with the coin is taken from him by Sally, and she pins a rose upon his chest as he reclines in peace in the amusement park.
