To inherit a fortune, a man races to find a bride by 7 p.m.

On the morning of his 27th birthday, James Shannon, a young lawyer neeeding money to save his partner from jail, is informed that he stands to inherit $7 million if he is married by 7 o'clock that evening. He proposes to his sweetheart, but she rejects him when he offends her by stating that he must marry a girl--any girl--in order to come into a fortune. He then sets out for the country club in the company of his partner and of the lawyer who first informed him of his windfall. The partner picks out seven girls at the club, and Jimmy proposes to each in turn, being refused by all of them. He then goes into town, proposing to everything in skirts, including a Scotsman. Meanwhile, the partner puts a story into the paper detailing Jimmy's predicament and advertising for a bride. Jimmy goes early to the church, falls asleep, and awakens to find the place full of brides. He escapes from them and runs into his sweetheart's Black handyman, who has come with a note forgiving him. Jimmy starts out for her house and is soon pursued by the large mob of outraged brides he left at the altar. After a wild chase, Jimmy arrives at his sweetheart's house just in time to be married on the stroke of 7.
