Lizz waits upon him and is smitten with Bill's appearance. Bill reads an article in the newspaper warning the bachelors of New York that a heavy bachelor tax has been levied. Determined not to pay any such tax, Bill begins to regard Lizz with great interest. They later are married. Fritz receives a letter informing him and Bill that their uncle has just died, and not wishing to have his money squandered, the uncle willed the entire fortune to either nephew who had the most money at the time of the reading of the will. Fritz hides the letter and determines not to tell Bill about it. But, when he learns Bill is married, he figures that they have the most money. Fritz burns the money just as the tax collector arrives and levies a big fine because he is a bachelor. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
