In order to have his allowance increased, young bachelor,
Ted, has written his pinchpenny uncle he is married, when
in fact he is only engaged.
Suddenly Uncle drops in unexpectedly and mistakes
the wife of Ted's best friend as Ted's wife.
Complications abound when the maid calls and is mistaken for
something else, the real fiance returns and is caught kissing Ted.
That night, when time comes to retire, add the neighborhood drunk
who habitually sacks in with Ted when he's locked out of his own house,
and you have a conclusion of enormous merriment.
