Unable to keep the lovers apart, he sends Betty to a girls' boarding school, but the resourceful Jay is equal to the occasion. Waylaying a new teacher bound for the school, he takes his clothes and leaves him clad in nothing but a barrel, while Jay, disguised with a mustache and side whiskers, proceeds to the school and is assigned to teach Betty's class. She is provoked when he orders her to stay after the class is dismissed, but her anger turns to joy when Jay removes his disguise and reveals his identity. As they are embracing, the janitor opens the classroom door, and runs to report the affair to the principal, who is later a witness to a repetition of the act. An Italian count, with the approval of Betty's father, has called at the school to press his suit, but is finally grabbed by an affectionate old maid. The professor notifies Betty's father of her conduct, and he goes to the school to investigate, while the real teacher, who has been arrested by the town constable for parading around in a barrel, escapes from the jail and also proceeds to the school. Jay, minus his makeup, is discovered in the garden with Betty, and her father finally decides that there is no course but to give his approval to their, engagement.
