At an afternoon gathering, Mr. Bunny, the millionaire, meets Daisy Green, falls in love with her and tries to propose, but is interrupted by Euphemia Jones, Daisy's spinster cousin, who has determined to marry Mr. Bunny herself. He then proposes by letter to Daisy, and asks her to meet him at the fountain in the part. At the same time he angrily writes a curt note to Euphemia, saying he does not wish to see her or hear of her again and encloses a check in compliance with her request, to help establish a home for cats. Unfortunately, he gets the envelopes mixed up, sending the curt note and check to Daisy and the proposal to Euphemia. He soon learns his awful mistake when he meets the blushing spinster at the fountain. She coquettes with him and he scorns her. In revenge, she starts a suit for breach of promise. Bunny calls on Daisy and she angrily refuses to see him. Finally, he decides to leave the country in the disguise of the Sultana of Korocko. Euphemia goes to the railroad station with Daisy and her mother, who have also decided to go to Europe. After they have entered the train, Bunny, completely disguised as the Oriental potentate, enters the station. Euphemia attempts to start a conversation with the supposed royalty, and Bunny, in his haste to break away, drops his card case. After they have gone, she finds it and recognizing Bunny's plan, follows him. There is an awful complication when Bunny and his party meet the real Sultana on the boat and barely manage to escape in the excitement, to their staterooms. Euphemia arrives, and seeing the real Sultana, accuses her of being a fraud. She yanks off the lady's yashmak, or face covering, and on seeing the genuine Oriental face behind it, shrieks and drops in a faint. The indignant Sultana orders her removal from the ship. She is put off and as the steamer sails, Bunny mockingly waves his hand to the raging Euphemia on the dock. The first day out, he meets Daisy, but she turns coldly away when he seizes her band. After explanations, and a second proposal of marriage, she turns to him with a smile and says yes. He puts his arm around her and kisses her and Daisy, now fully reconciled, ardently returns her lover's embrace.
