Chester Conklin is a street car conductor who has high social ambitions and too little money with which to realize his dreams. While out on a summer's holiday he meets Marie Prevost, a delightful summer girl, who displays a roll of bills presumably big enough to pay the national debt, and he instantly conceives a scheme by which he may simultaneously become possessed of the girl and her money. While Marie is bathing in the surf, Conklin rescues her from_ death by drowning, or rather he convinces her that he did. She is filled with gratitude, greatly to the chagrin of Harry Gribbon, the sweetheart of Marie and Conklin's bitter rival.

He disguises himself as a "Count" and starts forth to the home of Marie where a grand soiree is being given. He is received with all the honors due his exalted station and is the lion of the hour. But the irritated mother appears on the scene and she recognizes in the bogus count the conductor who had taken advantage of her absent-mindedness to cheat her. Conklin is ejected with great severity and Gribbon hastens to claim Marie as his bride. Conklin plans revenge and as a wedding present he sends Marie a bottle of wine which he had previously filled with deadly drugs. Then his conscience gets the better of him and he begins a mad chase after the honeymoon express to prevent the happy couple drinking the poisoned wine. He later makes the discovery that by an accident the bottles had been mixed and that the supposed poisoned wine was harmless.
