While in the park one afternoon, the poor man is insulted by Fannie, a bold, bad adventuress. Freddie is quite distressed until Billee, a barber, comes to his rescue. Billee knocks the adventuress into the lake, after which she accompanies Freddie home. The man's heart flutters as he bashfully thanks his noble protectress. The saucy manicurist employed in Billee's shop throws up his job. Freddie lands the position. Billie spends so much time admiring the beautiful man that she grows quite careless as to where she smears the lather, or how she shaves her victims. Fannie discovers Freddie's whereabouts. Determined to make him hers, she hires a gang of gunwomen to kidnap the manicurist. It happens that Freddie is taken ill. His brother Percival, fair, fat and forty, takes his place. Unaware of the change, the kidnappers throw a bag over Percival's head and carry him to a minister's house, where Fannie awaits him. Discovering the kidnappers' mistake, Billee hastens to Freddie's home and tells the object of her love of what has transpired. After ardent persuasion, the barber induces Freddie to accompany her to the ministress's home. They arrive just as Fannie and Percival are made wife and man. At the sight of Freddie, Fannie starts back in amazement. Raising the bag from her husband's head, she takes one glance at Percival's awful face and collapses.
