- Through chance, Caroline Carter, daughter of Senator Carter, and Charles McKay, a young author, meet. They become engaged, very much in opposition to the wishes of her father. Charles follows her, and with the assistance of some of the pupils, he arranges a meeting with Caroline and they agree to elope. On a moonlight night, he enters the grounds of the seminary and places a ladder at the side of the building leading to Caroline's room. He is confronted by a large dog, who is the guardian of the seminary grounds. Caroline throws Charles a box of bon bons, with which he feeds the dog and quiets him. The rest is easy. The two lovers are soon on their way to the parson's, with the good wishes of all Caroline's friends, who cheer them from the windows. Senator Carter reads in the newspaper of his daughter's marriage and immediately writes her that as she has disregarded his wishes, he hopes she will be able to continue her independence, regardless of him. Charles, to strengthen his exchequer, takes to writing scenarios for moving pictures. His success is not encouraging. While out walking, Charles and Caroline see a moving picture company making a scene of one of their plays. He recognizes the director as an old friend.
