Joe ran the village inn assisted by Aunt Emily, who was so darn anxious to get married that she had sent her niece's photograph to a matrimonial agency, claiming the likeness as her own, in her effort to land a "man." Charles is riding along the road in a Ford closely watched by Brownie, the sheriff's dog. He strikes Joe's inn as a reception is being held for Lillian and recognizes her immediately as the girl in the photo whom he had come to marry at the instance of the agency. Lillian was dressed in an ugly costume, because Aunt was angry and had forced it upon her, but Charles falls in love with her anyway. As luck would have it, the family get rich through discovery of oil in the back yard, and this doubles Charles' ardor, so that he and Lillian plan to elope. But the plan is overheard by Aunty, who works it so that she takes Lillian's place. She is heavily veiled and the unsuspecting Charles whisks her off to a minster's house. Just as the binding words are being pronounced, Lillian and Dad who had discovered the plot, pounce upon the pair and poor Aunty is left on the "shelf" because an exchange of brides is immediately instituted.
