Ray Jordon, having just purchased a new automobile, invites his friend, Jack Clifford, to go with him while he tries the new machine out. While they are speeding over a country road, they attract the attention of Constable Hackard, who instructs his daughter to get his six-shooter and his club, so he can catch the speeders. He loses no time in jumping in front of the machine with drawn revolver. Naturally Ray and Jack, with a six-shooter staring them in the face, come to a stop. An argument is started as to the speed the car was traveling, when the constable's daughter Maud puts in an appearance. It is a case of love at first sight on Jack's part; he immediately withdraws from the argument and starts in talking to Maud. Ray and the constable can come to no agreement, and Ray is ordered to drive to the Justice of the Peace; the constable takes a seat alongside of Ray while Jack takes a seat in the rear of the machine and waves a goodbye to Maud. On their arrival at the Justice of the Peace, Ray is still putting up an argument but Jack cheerfully pays the fine, thinking the price is well worth meeting the pretty daughter. Jack becomes a persistent suitor and is constantly being chased away from Constable Hackard's house. He frames up a scheme with his friend Ray to go out on the road and speed, so the constable will arrest him. When he gets the constable in the car, he is to drive him at breakneck speed, in a round-about way to the Justice of the Peace. While Ray is driving the constable around Jack has made a short cut to the Justice and by the time Ray and the constable arrive, Jack and Maud have been married. After the constable sees the humor of the affair he blesses them both but makes Ray pay a fine.
