Because of a family feud, Bobby Scrawn's love for Mary Stretch seems hopeless, particularly after the young man has been spanked with a fence picket wielded by Pa Stretch's sturdy arm. A few days later Mrs. Stretch gives a preliminary talk on tramps and how they can be saved and announces that the subject will be continued at her home the following Thursday. Mary gets a startling idea and tells Bobby of it: Thursday arrives and about 20 women are listening to Mrs. Stretch speak on hobos when "Hungry Hank," a ragged, tough-looking tramp, appeals at the kitchen door for a handout. Mrs. Stretch has her husband bring him in. "Hungry" is given a dollar and agrees to tell the story of his life. He winds up by saying, "I was cruelly separated from the girl I loved." Many of the ladies are softly sobbing, when it is announced that a "lady tramp" is in the kitchen. Mrs. Stretch is delighted. "Handsome Sal," bedraggled, unkempt, and wearing men's shoes, is brought in and introduced to the assemblage. As soon as Hank sees her he lets out a yell of joy and Sal rushes into his arms. The tramp explains that she is his long-lost gal and begs for a minister at once. A preacher is procured, and with Stretch and his wife as witnesses, "Sal" and "Hank" are married with due ceremony. To the complete consternation of all, "Hank," dancing around in glee, loses his wig, revealing to everyone that he is Bobby in disguise, while "Sal" proves to be none other than Mary. Her mother faints dead away, while Pa Stretch, after a moment of dumb surprise, bursts into uproarious laughter at the thought of the two young rascals getting married right under his nose. Mrs. Stretch is revived and the excitement finally calms down, but it is a long time before Stretch stops laughing.
