Sweet maiden lady Miss Abagail Dean is tricked by Caleb Lacey, an old lover, into an agreement to marry him secretly and to invest all her small fortune in a pretended business deal in which he says he is interested. Just in the nick of time the twins are sent to stay with their Aunt Abagail. They are instantly suspicious of Caleb. They exchange the money in the bag which their aunt gives her deceiver for paper dolls, and when the old ne'er-do-well and spendthrift tries to pay some back debts with the contents of the bag, he goes to jail, paper dolls not being negotiable. Abagail tearfully celebrates her narrow escape.
