Baldy has a job as cook and bottle washer in a boarding house. He is unpopular with the inmates on account of his prepossessing manner. He reads an ad of a woman who advertises as a wealthy girl that is looking for a husband. Baldy answers the ad. One of the boarders sees him writing the letter and glimpses its contents. He tells the other boarders. They write Baldy a letter that she will arrive the next morning. Baldy goes to the station. A disguised man comes out of the depot, asks for Baldy and kisses him. He takes one look and beats a retreat. The boarders who have been in hiding give chase. Later the real woman appears and Baldy gets in right with her. The boarders bring in the man and introduce him as Baldy's wife. Consternation reigns until the man's wig falls off and Baldy is freed from suspicion of being a bigamist.
