McCoy makes to prove himself a hero in the eyes of Peggy Pearce, whom he has come to marry after his father has arranged with Peggy's for the wedding. Incidentally, Peggy loves Billy Gilbert, and McCoy, not knowing this, arranges with Billy and Bobby Dunn to help him. The friends agree to kidnap Peggy, then let McCoy do some hero stuff by saving her. They carry out their part of the agreement, but when McCoy starts to pull his hero stuff the two friends show him a few Keystone Stunts. McCoy gets double crossed in two ways, when he is also forced to get a sum of money from Peggy's father, while Bobby Dunn has a new way to make bubbles in the lake, which keeps about half the population looking for Peggy, who is supposed to be drowning, while she is being married to the man of her own selection. Bobby finds that there is something wrong with the bubbles, and is equally surprised when McCoy is fished out of the lake only too late to stop the marriage of Peggy and win the young girl himself.
