Rena, however, is of a romantic disposition and dreams of elopements and brave deeds, and refuses to marry Fred on the grounds that he has never done anything worthwhile. Her father tells Fred to leave the matter to him, and tells him of a plan which Fred agrees to carry out. Accordingly, Rena finds a note from her father telling her he has gone to the station to meet a wicked old pirate. Admiral Fritz Rocquefort, who is to visit him on business and warning her to have nothing to do with him. Rena's curiosity and sense of the romantic is aroused and she immediately gets busy and changes around the whole aspect of the house, giving it as nautical an appearance as possible. Fred arrives disguised as the Admiral, and Rena immediately falls for him. Her father furthers the situation by refusing to let Rena have anything to do with him, but not before he has given the two a chance to plan an elopement. Dad then phones for his friend Jake, and the two arrange with a policeman for just sufficient interference to give Fred a chance to show up well. At midnight, the elopement takes place. After Fred has valiantly overcome all obstacles, he and Rena climb into the car and drive off, the old fathers perched upon the rear of the machine, tickled to death. They arrive at the minister's and are married, and then Ed and Jake walk in and introduce the Admiral as his real self, Fred. At first Rena is angry but she is satisfied that at least Fred has shown some bravery in fighting off the policeman, and they all return home well satisfied.
