They go into the library and the old man comments on the great likeness which she bears to her grandmother whose oil painting rests on an easel. Then are introduced two suitors, one favored and one disliked. The latter realizes he is not cared for and plots to win her at any cost. The grandfather in his attempt to raise money is discussing the matter at the club with his lawyer when he is overheard by the rejected suitor. Here is the long looked for opening; the deed lost and the title not clear, he will loan him the money on the condition that Betty become his wife. When the matter is explained to Betty she strongly objects and the grandfather is at a loss what to do. They finally decide on a thorough search of the whole house. In the search she goes to the attic and in an old hair cloth trunk she discovers the same dress as worn by her grandmother in the old painting. This she puts on and runs to show herself to the grandfather. In the meantime the picture had been removed by an artist to be retouched and only the frame is left. Hearing someone coming, she steps into the frame, posing as did her grandmother, and listens to the rejected suitor trying to force the old man to terms. The poor old man turns to the picture for thought and thinks he has a warning when he sees Betty raise her hand. He begs for more time. When this is granted Betty comes out of the frame much to the surprise of the two men and her lover who appears on the scene. In bowing to them she feels the long lost deed in the pocket of the old dress and at once conditions are straightened. The deed being found, Betty is able to marry the man she loves.
