Learn more- Matt rescues Jane when her dog's leash is twisted around her ankle. He is struck with her and she with him. That night he celebrates with the boys, and in the morning he finds a letter from his father, telling him that from now on he must be on his own resources. Matt is almost penniless, but he reads of a Professor Kairo who is making large sums of money, and determined to go into the business of Swami-ing. He dresses himself and his man-servant in Oriental robes and hangs out a sign. His first client asks him to give a séance at her house that night. When he swims in, he is astonished to recognize Jane, who is entertaining Lord Fauntleroy, whom her mother fancies for her husband. Jane tells the Swami that she has lost Bruno, and Matt's servant finds him. This is a success. The professor places a crystal in the middle of the room, and telling them all to watch as it will reveal a secret, he goes out into the veranda to talk to Jane, who has recognized him. Her mother comes out and Jane runs off. The weeks pass by and Matt finds that love and swami-ing don't mix. He shoots a note into Jane's room with a bow and arrow. It reads: "Dearest, Have arranged marriage. Am waiting nearby with an auto to elope. Your own Matt." Jane tears the message from the arrow point, stuck in the wall, but mother finds the last part of it. She is horrified, and after the wedding she tears Jane from Matt by enlisting the aid of the chauffeur. Matt is deprived of his bride and goes back to swami-ing. The marriage is publicly annulled. Matt reads this in the paper and also that the De Puysters are at Tuxedo for the winter. In his despair he is cheered by a message from Mrs. Van Emery asking him to give a séance in her home in Tuxedo. He is not to ring as he will find the window open, and it is to be a surprise. Matt has the misfortune to enter the wrong house. It is the De Puysters. Mother holds him up at the point of a revolver, thinking he has come to kidnap Jane. She tells him that she is going to keep him under her eye till Jane is married to Lord Fauntleroy. He is to act as butler, and will be arrested if he betrays himself. Baron von Limburg and the Count de Fromage arrive for the house party. They can neither of them skate well, and Jane skates to the admiration of all with an unknown young man, who is really Matt. There is to be a masquerade ball that night, and Jane lays her plans for it. She asks the chauffeur to take the place of her sweetheart at the ball that night, so that they can elope. She tells him to wear a policeman's uniform which she gives him. They are overheard by the baron, the count and her mother. The two noblemen try their best to get policemen's uniforms so as to impersonate Jane's sweetheart. The result of the mix-up is that they are left with no clothes at all. At last they succeed in getting some and returning to the ball. Mother has watched the wedding of Jane and the policeman, thinking that he is one of the titles. To her horror, when the bridegroom unmasks she sees that it is Matt. But she is reconciled when she finds that he is not a Hindu Swami.
