Victoria longs to be an authoress and studiously reads her book on "How to Become an Author." From that volume she learns that she should study in real life the types about which she desires to weave her story. Determined to write a story around a mountaineer type, she coaxes her father to take her on a trip to a mountain resort, which he finally is prevailed upon to do. One day while in search of her big idea, Victoria happens upon Eddie as he sits in borrowed rough clothes fishing in a quiet stream. She knows at once that she has found her character. He thinks her crazy, but finally, learning her true object, decides to teach her a lesson. He takes his father's friend into his confidence and they plan a joke. Next Victoria finds her hero waiting for her. In order to learn more of his character, she indulges in a little love-making. Later they are together when the other party comes upon them. He claims to be Eddie's father and accuses the city girl with endeavoring to corrupt his innocent son and says that nothing but a marriage can square matters. Victoria protests in vain and a mock marriage is performed in all seriousness. Victoria makes her escape finally, and rushing back to the resort hotel, tells her father of what has occurred. Her father refuses to believe her at first, but finding that she is serious about it, gets a gun and sets out to get Eddie and his supposed father. Eddie has decided by this time that the joke has gone far enough and, donning his own clothes, repairs to the hotel to call upon Victoria and explain all. On the way he meets her father, but neither knows the other. Eddie meets Victoria and explains his little joke in such a way that their friendship becomes stronger than ever. He then returns to the cabin and explains that the joke has gone far enough and that he has explained all to Victoria. The surprise comes, however, when in the presence of Victoria, the friend of Eddie's father explains that the marriage was really binding, as he was an ex-minister with full authority to perform the marriage. After a few moments of perplexity the young people decide to make the best of it and Victoria finds that her father is not averse to the marriage. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
