Ethel loves Jack, who is absorbed in his books and pays little attention to her. Ferdie and Bertie are actually loved by two charming girls but ignore them. Not knowing which to select, Ethel offers her hand as a prize for a fishing contest; the winner shall marry her. Ferdie and Bertie are at once on the job, but are annoyed by their other sweethearts and catch no fish. Jack forgets about the contest until roused by Ethel, then falls asleep while angling. The other boys, in despair, each secretly buy an enormous fish from a small village lad. Ethel, seeing the wonderful fish they have caught, and so that neither of the despised suitors may win her hand, secretly buys an enormous fish from the boy and attaches it to the hook of sleeping Jack and steals away. Bertie is at the hotel and as he displays the wonderful fish; he is the hero of the hour when Ferdie comes in with a still larger fish; in fact a young whale, and is about to claim Ethel's hand, when Jack dashes in with a fish of gigantic proportions and claims the girl, much to the amusement of the small boy, who discreetly maintains silence.
