A young student has reached his majority, and his folks, feeling that he must now take his place in society, purchase him a frock coat and tall silk hat, the first he has ever worn. Looking like a fashion plate, he calls on his lady love and takes her for a walk. They have not gone very far, however, before a ruffian, whom they meet on the way, insults them, and the young dude, infuriated, proceeds to chastise him, but is himself made short work of by the thug, who gives him one crack on the head, forcing his hat down to his chin. The young girl, realizing the ridiculousness of the situation, is struggling to get the hat off, when along comes an old dame with a cart load of milk and cheese, and as the couple are so much taken up with the hat they do not see her coming, so she bumps into them, upsetting the contents of the cart all over the young man. We next see the unfortunate lovers climbing into a cab, and when they reach their destination the student's coattail catches on the door and both he and the girl are dragged all over the street. Picking themselves up, they start to take a short cut through a field, hut it is not long before the unlucky wearer of the frock coat falls into a hole, thereby completing the good work done by the milk and cheese. Desperate, he spies a man in the distance playing a hose in his garden, so rushes over to him and stands under the stream in an endeavor to improve his forlorn appearance. Still accompanied by the girl, who, though mortified and disgusted, will not abandon him, he retires to an unfrequented spot, where she gives him her skirt while he places his trousers on the grass to dry and which a vagrant promptly steals. Unable to put up with so much bad luck in one day, the disappointed maiden throws him her sunshade and leaves him to his fate. A man passing that way mistakes him for a girl and decides to have a little flirtation, but the terrified youth seeing him approach dashes away in the other direction, hotly pursued by the curious admirer. He finally reaches his home, where he is met by his horrified parents, who, far from sympathizing with him, give him an unmerciful beating for being such a stupid ass.
