- Ethel is suddenly popular in her boarding-house when the men mistakenly think that her brother is wealthy. Becoming confused by all the attention, she agrees to marry three different men. Each arrives with a minister but Jake, the rich brother of another boarder, takes care of all three and marries Ethel himself.—Anonymous
- Charlie, Albert, and Frank get a squint at a telegram which Ethel drops in the hall of the boarding-house where she waits on table, and from insufficient data, leap to the conclusion that Ethel's rich brother is about to dump upon her a gold mine. In the eyes of the three impecunious boarders, Ethel suddenly appears radiant. Each sets out to win her. It is a simple matter to sham illness where a fortune is at stake, and the three young clerks return in the middle of the forenoon, laden down with candy, flowers and silk stockings. Most girls are happy if they get one proposal a year, but Ethel has three crowded into a very busy morning. She is so frightened that she says "Yes" every time. The wealthy brother of Miss Stimpson, the nice little old lady upstairs, who hasn't been out of her wheelchair in years, arrives. The boys take him to be Ethel's brother and give him a royal welcome. When each in turn tells Brother Jake that he is going to marry his sister, Jake is naturally surprised. Out rush the Romeos in search of a parson. By this time Ethel and her friend and confidante Miss Stimpson are "on" to the schemers. They take Brother Jake into their confidence. Jake is all ready for the three ministers when they are brought in. He pays each one his fee, though no ceremony is performed. Then he starts the Romeos out of the house via the toe of his capable boot. Ethel has fainted during the excitement. From the way Brother Jake revives her, anybody can see that someday one of the three clerical gentlemen will be called back.—Moving Picture World synopsis
