Mr. Brown has a marriageable daughter who rather likes meat but does not dare to express her desire. Mr. Jenkins pretends to be a vegetarian in order to win the heart and hand of the daughter. The young people marry. Returning to their home after a brief honeymoon they are almost famished for the want of meat, each planning and scheming as to the best course to pursue in order to satisfy the craving. In trying to deceive each other regarding their true appetites comical situations arise, and a laughable climax is reached when they accidentally find themselves face to face in a restaurant, both eating meat like two hungry hunters. An understanding between them is brought about and they resume eating meat, evidently enjoying it. The following day Mr. Brown the staunch vegetarian, pays a visit to his newly-married daughter and son-in-law. It so happens that he finds himself alone in the dining room. The odor of roast beef on the table tempts him to try just a little. He finds it so palatable that he helps himself to a goodly portion, which he devours with a ravenous appetite. The family catching him in the act makes his position rather embarrassing as well as most laughable, his lame excuses being of no avail; and now that they seem to understand each other, they all agree to sit down to their first square meal.
