Jack receives a note from father telling him that they have picked out for his wife a very rich and handsome lady. At home Miss Dillpickle is "dressed fit to kill," and when father tells her that Jack will arrive that evening she is happy. Jack in the train dreams of his affinity and sees a cover picture of a beautiful girl on a magazine which he visions as his fiancée. Father, mother and Miss Dillpickle are in the car to meet him, and there are fond greetings. After some persuasion he finally gets in with the chauffeur and sadly rides home, his beauty dream shattered. In the city Mons. Massage has a beauty parlor and is very much in love with his head manicurist. He tries all of his tricks to win her, but she is "hard to catch." Jack has arrived in the city, and, seeing he is pursued by his nemesis, runs into the beauty parlor and begs the manicurist to hide him. His fiancée comes in, and not seeing Jack, decides to take a banana massage herself, and Mons. Massage takes the job. He is so sympathetic and nice that she pours her love troubles into his ears. He recognizes beauty in distress and comforts her. Suddenly she sits upright, for the cloth has fallen from Jack's face and she sees her fiancé. Jack manages to get out first, with Miss Dillpickle and Mons. Massage close behind. He gets in his car and is off like a streak. Miss Dillpickle vainly follows, and as Jack sees that he will escape he proposes to Billy and receiving her assent, thankfully sighs and takes her in his arms, while far behind Miss Dillpickle is left to the tender mercies of Mons. Massage. Written by
