His bride is Elsie, a grass widow gunning for a mate. After the ceremony, the butler who has acted as minister, informs them that they are "sure enough married", as he is the pastor of the colored Baptist church. Arthur is in love with Betty, both are horrified at the new turn. The grass widow is determined to hold her fluke husband and follows him home on the run, introducing herself to Arthur's family as his wife. His father is frantic, he threatens the widow in vain. She sticks. The senator then comes on the run with the comforting news that the marriage is not legal because the couple had no license. Father grabs the fake bride and throws her rudely out of the house. But on the stoop she tickles his chin and Arthur has a new step mother. Written by
