"Pudge" Malone, an artist's model, is in love with Kitty Casey, but Mike McManns is fast making his way into the crevices of Kitty's heart. Mike isn't any better looking, but he makes a few dollars a week more than his rival. The night of the masquerade ball, Kitty has trouble in eluding Mike, as she had promised "Pudge" she would go with him. Kitty only weighs about seventy pounds, while Mike is a big, strong, healthy six-footer, so he just picks her up under his arm and carries her to the dance hall. "Pudge" is broke, so he borrows a suit of armor from his artist employer. Kitty recognizes "Pudge," and on every occasion the two are together. "Pudge" and his sweetheart win the first prize for their novel and beautiful costumes. This money they decide to use for a license and a ceremony. Mike causes a disturbance and spends an uneventful night in the police station.
