Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 3 October 1925, page ?] The hero is being sought as a husband for a girl who has been seeking husbands for years. He nearly “falls” when he meets Alice, who has just come from the west and who at first is taken as the new servant. Alice is differently regarded when it is learned that her father has made millions in oil in Oklahoma and the matchmaking mother tries to force a marriage between Alice and her son. It nearly succeeds, but the hero frames a situation and stops the wedding ceremony, which has been subject to several delays, as when the justice drops his glasses and cannot read the contract, a situation which becomes worse when the groom's mother proffers her lorgnette which so distorts the print and dizzies the justice that he falls backward through the window and into the courtyard where the action comes to a fast finish.
