He's taken to a sanitarium. The widow, however, was only "made up" to look old and homely, and when she removes her disguise, the son immediately falls in love. He calls a minister and they are about to be married when dad, who has escaped from the sanitarium, comes in bringing with him a newspaper man. The widow and reporter recognize in each other a childhood sweetheart, and leaving the dumbfounded father and son, take the minister and go off to be married.
