As described in a film magazine,[3] David Warrington (Ray) is an old fashioned boy with old fashioned ideas regarding marriage, living in a real home, babies, and the like. He is in love with Betty Graves (Shannon), a young woman who believes in the modern phases of life. After several heartaches and numerous comical situations, things shape themselves out so that Betty finds herself in her sweetheart's arms on the way to the minister for the wedding, having been convinced that the old fashioned way is the best after all.
