Plot



As described in a film magazine review, Blanche Ingram must marry within twenty four hours or she will lose a fortune. She arranges to marry John Ingram, an old man she believes will not live long. Wealthy Thomas Burton, who is in love with Blanche, disguises himself as the elderly invalid and goes through the marriage ceremony. The real old man's secretary, with the aid of underworld thugs, plans to kill Burton. Burton's valet Judd disguises himself as his master and sends out a radio call for help to the army, navy, police, Elks, and other organizations. They all respond and the gang is captured. Burton is accepted as a permanent rather than temporary husband by Blanche.
