- Ellen's mother is dead and she becomes dad's housekeeper. She wants to marry Harry and succeeds in obtaining dad's consent by promising to stay with him until he secures another housekeeper. Applicants are tried, but they fail to please dad, and Ellen has about given up hope when she conceives the idea of getting dad married, so with Harry's help they advertise for a wife. Out of a mass of letters they select five and ask them to call on dad. Among the first four to call, there's a fat widow, a deaf widow and two impossible old maids. Dad's fortitude exhausts after the fourth one has nearly kidnapped him, but to the motive underlying all these visits, dad is both ignorant and unsuspecting. Finally the fifth one rings the bell and dad escapes. Ellen cautiously peeks out of the window before she asks this last one in. Dad in passing out the front way sees the one in question and he is impressed, for No. 5 is "some woman," a blonde widow, with "all the looks." Ellen admits her and dad slips back in the house. Dad "falls" for the widow and Ellen and Harry marry. Dad gets married also, so all's well that ends well.—Moving Picture World synopsis
