As described in a film magazine,[4] Andre D'Eguzon (Powell) and Helen De Travillac (Murdock) are in love, but the mother of Andre, Countess D'Eguzon (Sergeantson), interferes and brings about the engagement of Helen to Valentine Borroyer (Norton), who makes a diary note of every event. On the morning of the wedding Andre goes to Helen and pleads with her not to marry Valentine. Helen tears off her wedding veil and flees with Andre to the home of her grandmother. They find themselves in many compromising situations as the grandmother believes that they are husband and wife. Helen gets Valentine to tell Andre's mother that he does not love Helen and that Helen and Andre should marry. And they do.
