A farcical silent comedy built on mistaken identity and slapstick chaos, where a hapless protagonist is tormented by greedy in-laws until their delusions of his wealth collapse.

Buster and a woman are mistakenly married and her initially unfriendly family begins to treat him nicely when they come to believe he has a large inheritance awaiting him.
