The Judge admires Mrs. Newrich and gladly seizes the opportunity which occurs the next day on the golf course to make her acquaintance. She poses as a "bachelor maid," and he, carried away by the spirit of the adventure, tells her he is a bachelor. Meanwhile their children have met in college and fallen in love with each other. The judge and the widow are married, each concealing the fact that they have grown-up children. Much to their horror, they simultaneously receive letters from their children, Frank and Rena, saying that they are coming home to spend their vacation. The couple arrive soon after the letters, and the judge quickly discharges the maid and puts Rena in her place, while his wife dresses up Frank as a butler. Complications naturally ensue when the judge sees his wife kiss Frank and matters are not helped any when she, in turn finds her husband and Rena in an affectionate attitude. The result is a big family row which is only straightened out by the appearance of Frank and Rena who announce to their respective parents their decision to get married. Surprise is followed by joy and the family is happy again. Written by
