Being the first and only ones who apply, they are received with open arms. They are dined and wined, when at last jealousy prevails among them and the fight ensues. The old maid, seeing the suitors are nothing but tramps, chases them out of the house and puts the police at their heels. Now follows one of the funniest chases ever seen in moving pictures.
