Bachelor John Jordan goes to look up his old pal Gilbert Lenox, but upon arriving at his house discovers that his friend is away, and that in his place is an attractive young actress named Mavis Jerome whom Jordan assumes is Lenox's wife. Their conversation is interrupted by the appearance of Homer Owen, and when Mavis introduces Jordan to Owen as Mr. Lenox, the bachelor is dumbfounded. To accommodate Mavis, Jordan continues the deception, causing comic misunderstandings. Finally, when the situation demands an explanation, Mavis relates that she was once engaged to Owen, but had second thoughts and broke the engagement. Discovering that Jordan is not Lenox, Owen kidnaps Mavis and takes her to his yacht where he succeeds in convincing the actress that her misgivings were baseless.
