- Wealthy old Howard Eliot is so pleased with his young nurse Annabelle Rose that on his deathbed he bequeaths her an envelope with the caveat that it not be opened for sixty days. The remainder of his fortune is left to his son Arthur with the stipulation that he must marry anyone except his current girl friend, the fortune-hunting Verna Devore. In order to meet the requirements, Arthur places an advertisement for a temporary wife. Annabelle, in dire poverty, answers the ad and agrees to marry Arthur in name only. Once the ceremony is over, Arthur comes to appreciate the contrast between Annabelle's sweetness and Verna's greed, and finally realizes that he wants Annabelle for more than a temporary wife. When the sixty days are up, Annabelle discovers that she has been awarded the old man's fortune, and Arthur discovers that he has made the right choice.
