Jimmy is madly in love with Madge. He yearns to throw his two hundred-and-fifty pounds at her feet. Madge refuses to marry him, however, unless he reduces his weight by at least fifty pounds. The amorous fat man immediately takes up a course of gymnastics. At the end of the first day he has lost three pounds. The unwonted exertion makes him hungry. When Jimmy mounts the scale after his dinner, the pointer on the dial jumps to 260 pounds. Jimmy hears of an anti-fat remedy which is said to produce marvelous results. He purchases several bottles. The remedy has a wonderful effect; Jimmy has never gained weight so rapidly in all his life. In disgust, he throws the bottles of Anti-Fat through the window. They strike a sailor and the fat lover receives a beating which sends him to the hospital. Jimmy conceives the idea of informing Madge that he has been taken to the hospital to have an arm amputated in an effort to reduce weight. Madge hastens to the hospital where Jimmy makes her believe he is minus his left arm. Madge's friends are taken to the beach by their beaus and the girl is left behind, a rather forlorn figure. Jimmy, released from the hospital, marches up and Madge greets him delightedly. She throws herself upon his chest after sorrowfully patting her sweetheart's empty sleeve, and finds herself encircled by two fat arms.
