Thereafter he is forbidden the house, and in order to facilitate courtship, Victoria exchanges costumes with her maid and thus manages to meet Dick outside. While recovering from the cold, which is the only thing he caught on the fishing expedition, dad takes a stroll in the park, where he spies Dick making love to a lady's maid. With his Kodak he takes a snapshot, but on showing it to Victoria as proof of Dick's perfidy all he gets is the laugh, A little later he sees apparently the same maid sweetheart with a chauffeur. The next moment be sees the maid and Dick in another direction. Convinced that the "halt" and water he swallowed on the fishing excursion, combined with the "cold cure" have made him see double, dad returns home, where he sees a rapid succession of mysteriously appearing and disappearing "maids." He is so grateful for an explanation that he gives his blessing. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
