Aunt Lucinda Carr, having lost all her money and property is making her home with them. A lawyer comes searching for a Lucinda Carr, who is heir to a large fortune.

The Carrs go on a spending spree, buying expensive furniture and clothes. A manufacturer comes to town and Mr. Carr borrows a large sum from Aunt Lucinda to produce his invention. Then the lawyer re- turns and demands the money, saying that Miss Carr misrepresented the facts. She is not the rightful heir and he is going to sue if they don't return the money. After the visitor departs, the men arrive to take the furniture. The manufacturer comes to see Mr. Carr and proposes to Aunt Lucinda. Laine Carr and Don Drennen, the manufacturer's son, decide to make it a double ceremony. The news arrives that Mr. Carr's invention will be a success.
