Dick Hardy, Nell's sweetheart, sees father and Mrs. Grant on the beach, sitting under an umbrella. They run to get some shells to throw at them, but when they return, father and Mrs. Grant leave and two colored lovers are sitting in the shade of the umbrella. Nell and Dick throw the shells; they see Rastus and Mandy and beat it. In the afternoon, when father and Mrs. Grant are bathing, Jim, Dick and Nell conceive the brilliant idea of stealing father's clothes and leaving him in the bath house until he will capitulate and promise never to marry.
