Billy has a sleepless spell and is told by his doctors that he is going to suffer from absolute inability to sleep for an indefinite period. This situation does not appall Billy. However, his friends all sympathize with him, and are magnanimous with advice and remedies. Billy turns night into day and sets a pace that brings him into great prominence, and is looked upon as a great disturber of peace and quiet. At last his case comes to the notice of a crabbed and eccentric millionaire, who surrounded himself with a heavy guard, and not trusting the banks with his money, kept watch on it himself. He sends for Billy and offers him a position of watchman. Although this is a good chance to materialize something from his affliction, Billy is about to brush this offer aside, but the millionaire, determined to have Billy's services at any cost, offers his charming daughter to Billy in marriage, and Billy is thus persuaded. This change soon cures Billy of his insomnia and the millionaire finds that he has made a bad bargain.
