He is to be disinherited in case he refuses to comply with one condition: he should marry the daughter of an old friend of his uncle's. This young woman he has never seen. The same day, while out driving in his machine, Stephens makes the acquaintance of a charming country girl and his heart tells him he has, at last, found the girl of his choice. Returning home, he informs his secretary he cannot hear of his uncle's preposterous demand, and sets out to secure employment. The lawyer, who is acting as executor of the will, receives an answer to his communication addressed to the girl in question, in the form of a little unsophisticated country girl. Not being able to locate Stephens, and not knowing what to do with the girl in the absence of her future husband, he gives her a letter of introduction to the matron of a certain young lady's school. She is admitted and cared for. Answering an advertisement, Stephens secures the position of chauffeur to the matron of this same school. He meets, for the second time, the little country girl. He wins her love, and after many narrow escapes, the young people succeed in eloping. All ends happily when he finds that he has unwittingly fulfilled the condition continued in his uncle's will.
