Denise, the leading woman of a small theatrical company, who schemes to ensnare him, thereby securing a wealthy husband and much free advertising for the show. Betty, a pupil in a fashionable school, runs away to become an actress. Miss Crab, the principal, starts out after her. Closely pursued, she desperately climbs into the nearest refuge, the window of Cutey's apartment. Mr. Dexter learns his son intends to marry an actress and goes in haste to see him. Betty hears Cutey coming and ducks into the wardrobe. A door closes and she thinks he has gone. Seeing him still there, she hastily dodges back, but is seen by Pa Dexter, as he enters the room. Mr. Dexter opens the wardrobe and Betty, terror-stricken, steps out. Cutey is speechless with amazement. Papa turns to him and says, "Thought you'd fool the old man, eh?" Mr. Dexter thinks Betty is his new daughter-in-law. They do not undeceive him, and, deciding the boy has good taste anyway, he makes the best of it. Miss Crab arrives with a policeman, but Dexter orders them out, saying she is his son's wife. He then takes the supposed bride and groom to his home. Each blames the other for their predicament and they have a terrific quarrel. Pa Dexter undertakes the role of peacemaker, but becomes exasperated and locks them both in their room. He then calls up Judge Goodman, an old friend, and asks his help. Cutey and Betty calm down and by the time the judge arrives, are on better terms. He goes in to them, they explain matters and he says the only solution is an immediate marriage. The judge performs the ceremony, then steps out and tells Dexter, "he persuaded them to make up." Betty and Cutey sit clasped in each other's arms while papa and the judge smile beneficently on them. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
