According to Law (1912)
Tony is an Italian immigrant, in America. His first two days in New York are filled with humorous experiences due to his ignorance of our laws and customs. His sky of dark clouds is suddenly cleared by Cupid, who gets him married to the fair Rosie without knowing it. The story pictures how Tony has been directed to Rosie's papa by a friend in sunny Italy. Her papa gives Tony a job, but fires him the same day. Then Tony peddles bananas and takes up his stand in the front of the fruit store of Rosie's papa. He has Tony arrested for not having a license, and Tony is fined, his fruit confiscated, and he wanders down the street with his empty pushcart to where he "carries the banner," or sleeps outdoors, on a dump that night. In the morning he finds a gold piece. Overjoyed, he goes to buy a license and meets Rosie, who accompanies him. At the City Hall they ask for a license and are directed to the Marriage License Clerk. The Clerk sends them with the license to a Magistrate and they are married without knowing it. Rosie returns home and Tony tacks the license on his pushcart. Securing a fresh stock, he again takes his stand in front of the fruit store. Then there is a time. Rosie's papa, furious, calls an officer. This time Tony is defiant and points indignantly to his license, which the officer reads between laughs. He informs Rosie's papa what has happened, and the rage of the much surprised fruit dealer ends with his blessing on the overjoyed Tony and Rosie.
