As one man, they vow to win her. Her suitors are of every variety, tall and short, fat and thin, young and old. Prominent among them is Albertus Simpleton, who lives up to his name. By feigning to faint, he succeeds in becoming acquainted with the widow, who hurries to his assistance when he "collapses." This leads to his introducing his men friends. Together, they start out gay "doings," but each time Albertus gets "stuck" and is forced to pay the bills. Meantime, each is trying to win the first place in the widow's regard. Mr. Gout "saves" her when she is about to fall off a hoard-walk two feet higher than the beach, and sometime later they discover that the veiled lady whom they treat to refreshments while she is occupying the widow's wheelchair is none other than the widow's colored maid. Finally, on the widow's last day at the beach, she goes in bathing again, and while in deep water is taken with a cramp. She has gone in alone on this occasion, and now calls for help. She is heard by one of her followers, who, however, is very slow in going to her assistance. Two of the others also see her, but they hurry off to get a life-saver, their motto evidently being, "Let George do it." On this occasion, George's other name is Albertus, and after a little hesitation, this valorous youth jumps into the water and swims to her assistance. He is finally successful in bringing her safely to shore. The widow delays her departure one more day, and as she is leaving they all come to bid her good-bye. When Albertus presents his card, up to this time, she has known him only by his first name, the widow laughingly informs him that she is his late father's widow, she having married his father while Albertus was touring in Italy. For the benefit of her other suitors, the widow adds that she is quite content to remain a widow, for a while longer, at least. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
