Billie decides to give a series of poker parties during her absence, but he receives a postal saying that his Aunt Molly is coming on a visit. Billie telegraphs to his mother to come home and then goes to the club. He tells the boys of his disappointment, but decides to give a poker party that night. The boys plan that Tom, Billie's chum, shall dress up exactly as Billie has described his aunt. The party is in full swing when the bell rings. Billie opens the door and tries to keep his aunt (Tom) out of the room, but she follows him in scolding. The boys depart and "aunty" follows Billie all over the house. He finally gets her in her room after she has pestered the life out of him with her attentions. Towards morning Billie gets up and tiptoes to "aunty's" room and is amazed to see Tom lying in bed. He writes a note to William the butler, saying, "When you get this be on the lookout. Aunt Molly has arrived and is a dangerous lunatic. Cold water is the best if she gets violent. Don't let her escape. I will come with a doctor and nurse." He then goes out. The next morning Billie's real aunt, who is much younger than Billie, arrives. As she is about to step into a taxi Billie passes. He is very much attracted to her. Aunt Molly arrives at the house and the cook shows her upstairs. William discovers the note and he and the cook lock the house securely and then attach a hose to the faucet and they place buckets of water in convenient places. Billie determines to enter the house unseen and climbs into Molly's room. She screams for help. William and the cook hear the cry and as Bill comes flying downstairs he gets the full benefit of the hose. He then falls over a bucket of water. Billie explains the mistake about Aunt Molly to the cook and sends her upstairs to help her. The bell rings and the boys all come in and Billie has to explain matters. Molly hangs over the banister, listening, convulsed with laughter. Billie's mother then appears and she cannot see the funny side of the situation until Molly comes running down, throws her arms around her sister and intercedes for Billie. Billie is very much surprised to see Aunt Molly, the pretty girl who attracted his attention at the depot, and he falls on his knees in thankfulness and adoration.
