As described in a film magazine review,[3] Anthony Churchill is to marry Helen after six months probation to convince her father Judge Griggs that he is a proper young man when Marion turns up some of Anthony's old love letters. To put her off, Anthony assumes the role of a married man with six children, but Marion discovers the hoax. Helen runs into a scene with Anthony with his made-up family.
