Billy has just received a telegram from his ward Daisy, notifying him that she is coming to visit him. When Billy's mother-in-law catches him talking to Ethel in the West home, Billy is panic-stricken, but remembering the telegram, he introduces Ethel as his ward. The mother-in-law is charmed with Ethel and decides to make a match between Ethel and her son Bud. Meanwhile, Daisy arrives at the Wests' and Billy takes her to a neighbor's house, intending to hide her there until Ethel is gone. The mother-in-law sees Billy in front of the neighbor's house, rushes out, and chases him. Daisy witnesses the chase and disguises herself as a boy to clear up the mystery that seems to enshroud Billy. She gets inside the West home, where she is seen and recognized by Bad Bill, a former pal of Billy's in his younger days out West. Buddy sees Daisy and Bad Bill in an embrace and begins to act like a sissy in derision of Bad Bill. West has eluded his mother-in-law and met Daisy and Bad Bill, so when the mother-in-law returns home she finds Daisy in her boys' attire sitting on West's knees. Horrified at such a sight, she phones to the insane asylum and to West's wife that Billy has gone insane. The asylum guards and Mrs. West hurry to the house where a fight occurs until explanations are in order. Just as West is explaining the situation, Buddy and Ethel enter with the announcement that they have been married. So when Daisy has proven her identity to the mother-in-law's satisfaction, Billy is received once more into his family's good graces.
