Betty Braley is in love with Steve Alden. Her father, Peter, approves another suitor, Terry Clayton. Terry is shy and clumsy while Steve is outgoing and romantic. When Betty returns one night at 5 a.m. with Steve, her father orders him to stay away from his daughter. Terry, discouraged at being rejected by Betty, is offered help by Mary Jane, Betty's younger sister. Terry follows her advice and attempts to make Betty jealous to get her attention. The trick works and soon Betty thinks she is deeply in love with Terry. Her father gets into an argument with Steve and tells him to leave his house for good. Steve returns in the middle of the night to elope with Betty but Terry shows up and carries her off for himself. In the morning they are found together in Betty's room, to the shock of the family, and they eventually reveal to everyone that they have eloped.
The film survives intact and has been aired on broadcast and cable television.
