The day before Maude Raymond and Harry Mason are to be married they pass by a house where a wedding has taken place and see the fuss being made over the bridal couple. The throwing of old shoes and showers of rice was too much for Maude. She gives Harry back his ring and tells him she will not marry him, as everybody makes fun of brides. To overcome her objections Harry engages a midget and after a shave has him dressed in boy's clothes to pose as their son. Maude is pacified and the happy couple go on their honeymoon. But the midget flirts with the girls and is very hard to handle; each time an outburst threatens he has to be pacified with money. With plenty of funds at his command he bribes a waiter to get him a bottle of whiskey and actually intoxicated, discloses his real identity. When Harry and Maude leave the hotel they get a shower of rice and old shoes. The midget has a brick he is anxious to contribute, but is overpowered.
