Synopsis: [Motion Picture News, 13 February 1926, page ?] Our hero appears in his first pair of long trousers which are the latest and most extreme cut that has been adopted by the young male flappers of today. In possession of this up-to-date leg covering, Glen feels the urge of romance and a chance meeting with a vamping merry widow results in the young man completely falling for her wiles. After performing a heroic rescue in a nearby lake, Glen immediately discovers that though his trousers are one of the latest creations, they are not unshrinkable and almost spoil his romantic efforts. The young lover invites the widow to dinner at his home where his father, despite a rheumatic ailment, also becomes an admirer of the charming lady.
