Business having slackened with Plump and Runt, our small friend decides to write to his uncle for a little cash. Uncle tells him to make a man of himself by marrying. To this Runt immediately replies, saying that he has taken a spouse, and arranges with Plump to impersonate the lady. Uncle leaves the farm to visit his new relative and on his way is inveigled into a flirtation with Plump who is returning from the costumer arrayed in female attire. So delighted is Plump with his powers of deception, that he encourages the old man to the point where the say old spurt will not quit. Time is passing and Plump has to rid himself of his admirer by dropping him into the river. Poor Runt, meanwhile, is in a fever of anxiety at his proud wife's non-appearance. Finally, Plump arrives and relates his experience as a female impersonator. On the point of giving up hope of the uncle's visit, Plump is about to disrobe, when Uncle arrives and meeting his erstwhile charmer, bursts out into rage. Unhappily for him, his wife, who has also determined to visit her nephew, appears on the scene. Caught between two fires, poor Uncle has to keep quiet and incidentally part with the $5,000.
