Marion has been a spoiled child and used to having her own way and she marries Billy. They start housekeeping on Billy's small income and they certainly have their "ups and downs" when the young wife tries to do her own housekeeping and furnish her home with all the luxuries to which she has been accustomed. Regardless of their income, she insists upon flowers for the table, which breaks the bank, and notwithstanding, orders all sorts of choice delicacies from the butcher, the baker and the candlestick maker. When she finds her wardrobe diminished, she does not hesitate, secures on credit whatever she needs. She puts her clothes to soak in the tubs, lets the water run over and almost floods the house. She burns her hands while trying to cook and between bills and ills, she is in a pretty bad way. At last she is obliged to tell her father of her predicament. He has had time to think over his harshness in opposing his daughter's marriage and in disregarding her position, and he quickly avails himself of the opportunity to show his better nature by coming to her rescue and helping the young people get on their feet and live happily and comfortably.
