William Jenkins loves Bedelia Stubbs, but has been forbidden the house. He dares her father's anger, however, and is visiting Bedelia in the library, which is decorated with various war trophies, including suits of armor, when they hear old man Stubbs stumping through the hall.

He flies through the door, surprising the cook and "her policeman," rushes down the street, and finally seeks refuge in a spiritualist séance that detectives have arranged to raid. The police grab him for a fake spirit, and he is carried away in a patrol ...
