George Castle, while spending a vacation at the seashore, becomes engaged to four girls. Three are merely summer engagements, but Frankie Somers is the real thing. The other three girls, feeling themselves trifled, threaten suit, and George finds himself in a bad fix. He appeals to his mother, who is an actress, for help. Mrs. Castle then makes herself up as an impossible old woman and assumes the air of a virago. She interviews the fair plaintiffs, and the idea of this horrible old woman for a mother-in-law quickly changes their views. Nell, Violet and Margie are convinced that they have escaped a terrible fate and are perfectly willing to let anybody else have George who is willing to take mamma in the deal. They call the engagements off and Mrs. Castle dolls up quickly, sets things right with the girl that her boy really loves and recites the usual benediction.
