In this silent two-reel comedy, Charley Chase is getting ready to wed the lovely Katherine Grant. But when his jealous rival hands him a note suggesting that his bride-to-be has a wooden leg, he gets cold feet. Instead of getting married he gets drunk and decides to sail to the South Seas and become a beachcomber. The bride and her father go chasing after the steamer in their yacht. Everything is cleared up when they discover that the rival was responsible for the note. Then the bathing-suit clad bride kicks the badguy off their yacht with her very shapely -- and very real -- legs. The film contains a bizarre segment in which Charley looks into the future and sees himself saddled with not only a wooden-legged wife, but also four peg-legged children...and a peg-legged dog!
