Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Calamity Anne, after consultation with Tommy, decides to go into business. From a financial standpoint, the business is a failure. As Calamity wanders along the road one day, she meets an aviator. Mr. Skyboy, who is about to give a demonstration. Mr. Skyboy, on hearing that Calamity Anne has money, decides to pay her his attention. The cowboy friends of Calamity inform her that aviators make big money. Being financially embarrassed at this time, Calamity accepts Skyboy when he proposes. The evening of the wedding arrives; Calamity is about to be married, when the service is interrupted by the entrance of two women, who claim that each of them is engaged to Skyboy and that they have advanced him money. Calamity forces the intruders out and the service is resumed, but is again interrupted, this time by the entrance of a poor woman who proves that she is the legal wife of Skyboy and that he is the father of her child. Calamity gives up all claim to the aviator. She first, however, makes him give up all of his money, which she hands over to the wife. Calamity goes to faithful Tommy for consolation in her wrath and grief. She promises him in the future that there will be “no wedding bells for her.”
