Billy gives a old maid sister,Prudence, who has refused present as chaperon. ,Billy persuades Hank's the party, and he sends for his uncle Zebe- to Prudence because he cannot induce Ann to a husband. Trouble begins when Uncle Billy persuades Hank to imitate Uncle Zebediah, disguised in cowboy clothes and a handle-bar mustache. When Hank is compelled to make love to Prudence he rouses the ire of Cuddles who retaliates by flirting with Alix. This flirtation involves Billy in difficulties with Prudence and Ann. Ann breaks her engagement to him, and gets Alix into hot water with his mother-in-law, a dicta- torial lady who is allergic to peanuts.

Why tell the truth when, a lie is so much more interesting? he asks, and adds that if he liesjiimselt into trouble, he can 'lie himself rightfgout again. His valet backs him up as well as he can, but often he's not -sure which lie he's backing, for Leon really has something to conceal. His devoted and rich uncle plans to marry him to his ward, but Leon shies at the idea. A schoolboy infatua- 'tion had led him to marry a much older woman who had a daughter older' than Leon himself. After the woman's death, the daughter persistently tagged after Leon calling him daddy and warning him to scare up a husband for her. In the meantime -Leonchad fallen in love with a girl. However he got her name mixed up with that of her friend, which added numerous complications. .
