Dick loves Ella ardently, but she can't "see" him at all. This perplexing state of affairs continues until mother begins to worry about Ella's lagging interest in her studies and consults her attorney. He suggests that he will be the goat; he will make love to Ella, elope with her and then desert her. The cure will be sure and lasting. Mother, somewhat dubious, agrees to the plan. At last Ella's romance begins. She succumbs to her elderly suitor's whirlwind wooing and elopes with him, pursued by Dick. Arrived at their destination, Ella is left in her room all alone while her elderly lover is hustled off to jail by the younger one. He, however, had telephoned to mother to come and get her deserted child. In the morning Ella discovers that she has been deserted and when mother arrives on the scene she finds that her accomplice is lodged in jail. Together they go to get him released, and while mother is explaining the court just how it all happened Ella and Dick decide to elope in earnest. Written by
