His Military Figure

Vic wants to win the hand of the daughter of an old army colonel. The colonel has laid down the stipulation that the man getting his daughter's hand must have a true military figure. Vic prepares to meet the father to pass examination and trusses and laces himself up to look like a West Pointer. Before the arrival of the old colonel to pass on Vic's figure, a rival for the daughter's hand inserts himself into the action, and a series of ludicrous mishaps and horse-play follow in rapid succession, and Vic is finally shown up.
