Father buys flowers and takes them to the girl, then asks her to marry him. She consents and he produces a beautiful diamond ring. He leaves, telling her he will be back in the evening. Son follows suit and she accepts him. Both are jubilant and tell the other how happy they are going to be. Son gets away first to the girl's apartment and is fondly caressing her when a rap at the door warns her. She hurries the son into the closet and father comes to enjoy a few moments of real love making. But another knock and father, too, is buried into the dark closet. A man enters; who can it be, but her husband. And while father and son battle for love's sake in the closet, husband is shown the beautiful stones his wife has worked from the two boobs. Son proves the stronger and escapes from the closet only to confront the angry husband, who tells him who he is and drives him from the house. Father follows just in time to leap into son's machine, where they discover the treachery of each other and let the girl and husband escape to another town.
