Betty spurns him and tries to elope with David. They are headed off and Dad takes Betty and Aaron in David's taxi to get a marriage license. David follows in another taxi and spurns a plan with the two chauffeurs. The license office is closed and Dad is furious. David passes a note to Betty, telling of the plan. Betty gets in one side of her Dad's taxi and out the other and then into David's taxi, which starts for the railroad station. Dad is driven off in the other direction by his chauffeur and Aaron pursues the lovers. He misses them at the depot, but finds a ticket David has dropped. Aaron telegraphs to have the couple arrested and held. Dad again gets Betty in his favor and starts back to the city. David gets on the train as it pulls out. Betty drops her valise off the end of the car close to a country station and Dad gets off to get it. David and Betty get off the train and board a caboose standing on the next track. The passenger pulls out and Dad, dropping the valise, chases after it. David gets the valise and the freight pulls out the other way, but they laugh at him as he gives up in despair and realizes Betty has at last successfully eloped with David.
