When Sadie Feinbaum shows off her wedding trousseau to the widow Greenberg, that lady expresses the wish that her own daughter, Rosie, could fine a nice young man for a husband. At Mrs. Feigenbaum's suggestion Mrs. Greenberg goes to Shatchen Meyer's to arrange for a match for her daughter. The Shatchen is a sort of marriage broker, and after a little argument over the size of the advance fee, Meyer places Rosie's name on file. While Mrs. Greenberg is there Mr. Goldstein, a widower, whose son Benny works in the same office with Rosie and is in love with her, enters, and after registering his son with the Shatchen, is introduced to Mrs. Greenberg. The two become friends at once, and both promise to have a long talk with their respective son and daughter. When Benny and Rosie are broached on the subject of a prearranged marriage, however, both go up in the air and refuse to hear of it. Neither parent mentions the name of the party they have selected, so the young people elope, wiring to their parents, "Am married and coming home for forgiveness." Both Mrs. Greenberg and Mr. Goldstein rush off to the Shatchen's, wild to think of that gentleman receiving their perfectly good money for nothing and allowing the match to fall through. The Shatchen does not let go of the money very easily, but they finally talk him out of it, and the two melancholy parents wend their way to Mrs. Greenberg's to "have a good glass of tea." While they are commiserating each other the repentant elopers return to the Greenberg home. Hearing voices they steal into the parlor, and after recovering from their astonishment, hear them express their sorrow at not having consummated the match between their children. Then Rosie and Benny step forward and after a joyful reunion, preparations are soon underway to celebrate the event with a regular marriage feast.
