One day he learns that an eccentric uncle has died, leaving him a brown derby said to bring good luck to its wearer. Meanwhile Edith Worthing and her Aunt Anna are expecting Edith's wealthy Uncle, Adolf Plummer, from Australia. On a call to their house, Tommy is mistaken for the uncle, being announced as "a plumber" and soon a mutual romance develops with Edith. They are wedded by mistake when serving as witnesses to marriage by elopement. Farrell, a rival for Edith, learns of Tommy's deception and persuades Edith to elope with him; but Tommy follows in hot pursuit, in his pajamas and derby. At the last minute, a message arrives telling Edith that she and Tommy are already married.Language:Silent with English intertitlesNotes:Genre:DRAMADetailed holdings information: -
