Eddie leaves on the train for his uncle's place to meet the girl who has been picked out for him to marry, much to his displeasure. Victoria sets out for her aunt's for the same purpose and takes the same train. Neither knows the other and has no idea in what the other looks like. The fat man and his wife and three children board the train. Finding that they have left the baby's nursing bottle behind, the wife gets off to buy another and misses the train. At the next stop the fat man gets off to telegraph to his wife, leaving the children in charge of Eddie, who is his friend. Eddie meets Victoria, and after a short courtship they are married by a minister on board, not knowing they are fulfilling the wishes of their respective aunt and uncle. The porter comes to Eddie's assistance in caring for the children, not without having trouble with everyone aboard. Victoria arrives at her aunt's before Eddie, and they are pleasantly surprised to find they have already been married, which brings the story to a happy conclusion.
