The story
“Muriel Adams, a young musical student, spurns the advances of Boyd Martin because he puts no romantic fervor into his proposal. Professor Gregg, her teacher, however, knows all the tricks of the stage Romeo and Sir Launcelot and succeeds in inducing Muriel to elope. Mr. and Mrs. Adams discover their intention and tell Boyd of their discovery. Through an article and photograph in the newspaper it is learned that Gregg is wanted by the Italian Government for forgery. A fake hold-up of the automobile in which Gregg and Muriel propose to elope reveals Gregg’s cowardice. Boyd ‘rescues’ Muriel from the ‘auto bandits’ and Gregg, when confronted with the printed evidence of his duplicity, displays a great willingness to leave the scene. Muriel, with her craving for ‘romance’ fully satisfied, throws herself into Boyd’s arms.”
