Eddie and Louise are real nice youngsters, and they, of course, love distractedly. They graduate, and Eddie circles Louise with that little band of gold which means so much. Louise goes home to her uncle and aunt, who live in the country, and Eddie goes to visit his uncle and aunt, who also live away from town. The uncles are old friends, but are unaware of the young couple's attachment. The uncles have an old time agreement whereby the nephew of the one is to marry the niece of the other. The joyful news is broken to the boy and girl, with the result that they write and arrange a meeting in order to escape such a terrible end to love's young dream. The uncles get wind of the elopement and follow. They all meet and the uncles are surprised when they see each other. They agree to fool the young couple and they are parted. Eddie is held closely in by his uncle, who tells him the girl he has in mind for him will arrive on a certain day. Eddie is in despair and when the girl arrives they will not look at each other until forced to do so. When they do see who is before them, they lose no time in coming to a clinch and the uncles are proud of their joke and its happy ending.
