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.
