Being a young man of resources, Henry proposes a plan to Sue which she agrees to, and to all appearances they part company for good. In reality, Henry rents an old log cabin and proceeds to fit it up. When the cottage is ready, an elopement takes place and he and Sue are married. The old people are unforgiving but Sue wants to see her mother, so she and her husband start out one afternoon to call. When they reach the front door, Sue's father forcefully hauls her in and slams the door in Henry's face. He appears at the window with a gun and invites him to make himself scarce. There seems to be no chance for argument and so Henry returns to the lonely log cabin, where he conceives a brilliant idea: He writes to the old people that he thinks their daughter should obey them and invites her mother to come and get her things. When mama appears he manages to lock her in the little room or outhouse adjoining the log cabin from which there is no way of escape, then sends word to the father that as each of them holds the other's wife prisoner, he is willing to consider a trade. The old man appears, but finds the boy this time at the window with a gun and is obliged to go in search of the young wife or make the trade as suggested by Henry.
