He opens a matrimonial agency, and sends out fliers, with bold headlines reading, "Why Work? Marry Money." A penniless writer, who has been put out of his room, rushes pell-mell to the agency. His landlady, learning that a husband is procurable for five dollars, follows. A discouraged chef, a vaudeville actress who is sick of the life, Lena a scrub girl, and Jim, a janitor, all congregate at Gettum's establishment. To all the female applicants Gettum gives the name and address of the same man, and to all the men the name and address of the same girl. He plans to sneak off with the money before his scheme is found out. Lena, the scrub girl, however, says she won't be satisfied with anybody except Gettum himself. He demands all her cash. She hands it over, and then insists that he appoint the hour of the ceremony. "I'll marry you when the whistle blows," promises John. Lena decides to keep him in the office till the happy moment arrives. All the seekers after soul-mates return from their futile search. John makes a dive from the window, pursued by the crowd. His clients chase him through the park. Snatching off his coat, he plunges into the lake. Dissolved in tears, Lena picks up John's discarded garment. But instantly her woe is turned to joy. In the pocket she finds all the cash which Gettum has collected. The janitor comes to her support, and they fall into one another's arms. Gettum crawls out of the water and is immediately arrested. The judge fines him thirty dollars for trying to swim in the park lake. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
