Edith Weldon prepares for a churchless wedding with Richard Strong, a cultivated country gentleman whose bucolic dress and rough manners clash with city expectations. The Weldon family supports the match despite social misgivings, while Edith frets over punctual Dick’s absence and a tailorless, self-reliant groom.
Edith Weldon endures a prolonged vigil as Dick Strong Misses the ceremony wandering Broadway. Mistakenly accused of theft, he is detained, then released after a twist of fate shows the watch belonged to a rival, and he is free to reunite with his bride at last.
