When it is completed, he shoots it to her across the alleyway by using an electric fan. Then he swings across on a chair suspended by ropes. Sweetie's dad sees his trick and reaches out to grab him, but he falls, dropping ten stories. Dashing to get away, he knocks over several people, and has a merry time before he escapes. Arriving home, he phones his sweetie to meet him at a friend's from where they are to elope. His father gets wind of his intentions, and phones the girl's father. The two mad papas start after them. The would-be elopers arrive at the marriage license bureau in time to hear another couple ordered home until the girl grows up. They skip out and return. Buddy wears a fake mustache and his sweetie wears glasses and oldish clothes. After the civil license is issued, they are told to see the minister down the street. As they leave, their fathers enter. The couple grab a horse cab and when they arrive at the minister's home, the latter eyes them suspiciously, he having been forewarned by a telephone call from the parents, who dash in, and give their respective "babes" a sound spanking.
