Mary's papa has a deep and abiding dislike for Tom, and when Tom comes to spark Mary there is trouble. John Brant has a bald pate and covers his shining dome of thought with a wig. In order to separate Mary and Tom, Mary's papa takes her with her mother on a visit. Tom, not to be circumvented, trails along. Papa Brant aboard ship, loses his wig, which comes into the possession of Mrs. Brant, who secretes it. Her eyes fall on a moon-face rubber ball, so she places the wig on the ball. Brant, in despair, gives up the search for his wig. Mrs. Brant, with the wig and ball creates an effigy with the aid of Papa Brant's checked jacket and a pillow. She hears approaching footsteps, and in a panic drops the effigy through a porthole. "Man-Overboard," is the cry of men and women on the upper deck, and Tom Griffith thinking Papa Brant is drowning dives overboard. He returns the wig to Papa Brant, who has a change of heart.
