Synopsis

[edit]

The Boy has a dream in which he learns that his sweetheart is marrying another man that very afternoon. Intending to stop the wedding, The Boy arrives at the church only to see the newly wedded couple emerge. The crestfallen Boy wakes up. He telephones The Girl to make sure he was only dreaming. The Girl confirms this, but she is upset that The Boy has not yet arrived to play an important role as a masked swordsman at an amateur theatrical that she is producing. The Boy gets his prized automobile from storage and encounters numerous difficulties in trying to get to the theater on time for the performance. With The Boy still absent, The Girl replaces The Boy with another actor. The Boy arrives in costume just as the play concludes, but he comes onto the stage to accept the audience's cheers.
