Left to her own devices, willful Gem selects her unlikeliest suitor and thrusts him upon papa for approval. Aroused, the old chemist endeavors to separate them by locking Gem in her room but is compelled to repeat the forceful ejection of the persistent lover many times over. Determined by papa's refusal, Gem and her lover plan to get even with him. He believes that he has made a wonderful discovery and calls in two of the scientists in his city to test the mixture. Gem and her beau replace it with a harmless mixture, of which the dog approves. Entering the laboratory, the scientists are amazed to find the dog drinking the supposed poison. Fearing his bite, they lose no time in making their getaway. Ever ready for a chase, the lively dog sets determinedly after them. Their frantic efforts to escape result in disaster to all encountered en route. Believing the dog to be mad, a general call is turned in for the police. Gem and her lover rush to the minister's house but he refuses to marry them and tries to give them the slip. The lovers give chase, overtake him at the lake's edge, and force him to perform the ceremony. Driven by the dog to a high bridge, the scientists decide to take to water rather than risk a bite. Not caring for the jump, the dog leaves the bridge and encounters the police, but discovering his mistress, he makes a glad rush to the consternation of the minister, whose fright precipitates the three into the lake, where the dog joins them. The yells of the scientists and the bridal party bring the police to the rescue, and the lake is filled with swimmers whose struggles show little enjoyment in their dip.
