Eddie is in love and the girl reciprocates his affection, but a man-hating aunt stands in the way of their ultimate happiness. Crossed in love many years before, Aunt Matilda is well-known for her sentiments and for this reason, beaux have a hard time getting to her niece. William and Ted arrive at the aunt's house and their pitiful tale is about to bring forth a pie from the cook when Aunt Matilda sees them and angrily orders them out. Eddie, seeing there is no chance to see his girl about the house, persuades her to slip off and go for a picnic with him the following day. Arrangements are made and Eddie drives up in his machine for the girl. The girl meanwhile has been preparing a big lunch and just as she starts to leave. Aunt Matilda comes in. Ethel "pulls off" a faint and while Aunty runs for the smelling salts. Ethel beats it for the auto. Aunt Matilda sees Eddie and the auto and sets out in pursuit. She is successful and jumps in too. Eddie and the girl are unable to get rid of her and are then forced to take Aunty along. This, of course, spoils all chance for a quiet spoon, and about the only excitement left is to eat lunch. Weary and Ted, rambling around, come across the auto and investigate. Weary puts on the coat and goggles, while Ted rummages in the toolbox and finally toots the horn. Eddie runs up to them. Eddie sees a way to get rid of Aunt and through the medium of a ten dollar bill, persuades Weary to make love to Aunt Matilda (disguised in the auto coat and goggles). Ted gets jealous and starts a fight; in the melee which follows Weary is shown up in his true colors. Eddie and the girl come up in time to accuse Aunty of making love on the sly, and she cannot offer any legitimate reason to prevent them from following her example. Weary and Ted, seeing it is no place for them, make good their escape and Aunt Matilda is forced to consent to the engagement of Eddie and the girl. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
