She ducks behind a screen and many ludicrous incidents follow rapidly, during which the bellboy appears with a tray of tea and toast which he tells Jack has been ordered by "his wife." Jack finds "his wife" behind the screen and they introduce themselves. She becomes hysterical at her terrible predicament and sobs that she is utterly disgraced, but he comforts her and reminds her of when they were both school children, how he had a little sweetheart by the name of Alma Wright; she remembers and he proposes on the spot. She accepts him. and just as he is leaving her with a good-night kiss Pa Wright appears. Then there are some exciting moments until explanations and introductions clear up matters, and the Wrong Mr. Wright becomes the Right Mr. Wright, with Pa's blessings.
