This is particularly a hard jolt to Jimmy, who is engaged to May. The two brothers and May get together and plan a little scheme to make the old man loosen up. May is introduced to the father and she leads him a merry chase along the great white way. Nothing is too good for Huckleberry, and he proceeds to do things up in the right style. The boys think that Papa's tight spell is broken. When they broach the subject of more allowance, he tells them that he will be obliged to stop their allowances entirely. But the trio hatches another scheme: One night Huckleberry, while looking on the wine while it is red, signs a certain paper. The following day the boys again appeal for more money. When he bluntly refuses, they flash the paper. He learns that he has appointed his own sons as his guardians. Huckleberry decides that May is at the bottom of the trouble, but learning that she is to marry his son, he finally consents to do the right thing by them all.
