A few days prior to her planned marriage with Jack, Ann is visited by her cousin, Nora, who brings along her chum, Dick Rogers. By this time Jack has determined to disillusion Ann, realizing that if she does not get the silly idea out of her head, their married life will be seriously marred. Jack goes to Nora for advice. Nora has been secretly in love with Jack all along. Also Dick has developed an affection for Ann which he is trying hard to conceal. Nora, delighted at the opportunity of giving Jack "advice," suggests that he arrange to have Ann kidnapped from the marriage altar in a highly romantic way by a handsome masked highwayman. She suggests that Dick play the highwayman, and take Ann to the country home of Dick's Aunt Amelia and there keep her imprisoned until she is disillusioned forever about romance. The affair is carried out as planned. As time passes, Jack begins to worry. Instead of the letters begging for his help that he had expected from Ann, he receives only subtly worded messages which convey the impression that Ann is not only enjoying her romantic experience, but is falling in love with her abductor. Jack, realizing he is not yet Ann's husband, becomes desperate, but Nora is secretly delighted. While Ann and Dick make constant love under Aunt Amelia's chaperonage, Jack develops more and more tenderness for Nora. But his desperation as concerns Ann grows worse and worse when he receives a wire from her reading: "I am in love. What shall I do?" Jack wires back "Wait for me and sit tight." While he makes a mad dash for a train, taking Nora along with him, Ann obeys Jack's telegram to the letter and "sits tight" with Dick on all occasions. The presence of Ann at Aunt Amelia's home fans into a flame the almost extinct love-fire of two old hayseeds boarding at Amelia's, Hy and Jed. They play checkers constantly to see which of them shall win the fair lady from the city. One day, after they have come to blows following a heated argument as to their respective claims upon Ann, they look through the window and see Ann being married to Dick. Jack's former fiancée has not only been unchanged by her severe lesson, but has proved herself a stronger advocate of romance than ever by marrying the handsome young chap who was employed by Jack to abduct her. Jack and Nora, meanwhile, arrive breathless in the little rural village to learn from the Justice of the Peace that Dick and Ann are just being married. Nora and Jack hurry to Aunt Amelia's, where the wedding is just being completed and a big barn dance about to start. After the ravings of Jack and the hilarity of the others have subsided, Ann suggests a way out of the difficulty by having Jack marry Nora, just what the foxy little Nora had been wishing for.
