Nervy Ned, chased by cops, flees into a fancy dress ball, where he causes a sensation for his supposed make-up as a tramp. Driven from the ball by the cops' arrival, he jumps into a waiting automobile and is carried to a haunted house by a young girl eager to elope with her fiancé. The rival for the girl's hand arrives, ties up the minister, and scares Ned, the girl and black chauffeur by rigging up some spook fakes. The girl's lover arrives and is being married when the lights are put out, and Ned is substituted for the groom. The girl later divorces Ned and returns to her true love whom she marries.
