In Louisville the election for Mayor is shortly to take place. Col. Wheat is the Democratic candidate and Major Condon the Republican nominee. Silas Brown, editor of the Lousville Herald is desirous that the Democratic nominee be defeated, and sets his paper to that means. Of course, this leads to a heated argument. But Col. Wheat's daughter, Minnie, and the editor's son, Bert, are very much in love with each other. The parents of the young couple absolutely refusing an alliance, the young people decide to get married despite objections. After the ceremony the parson telephones both families of what has transpired. Pandemonium is let loose. The parents of each of the newlyweds arrive at the parsonage. Father berates son on one side, and father berates daughter on the other, but eventually between the combined efforts and pleadings of the minister and newly married couple, the two old political enemies forget their old trouble and clasp hands.
