Jimmie disguises himself as a negro porter on the private car of old man Duncan, the father of pretty Erma, his sweetheart. Duncan favors the suit of Griswold, whom he invites to take a trip. Erma helps Jimmie to carry out the ruse. Jimmie's false complexion leaves a smear on pretty Erma's cheek and lips. Old man Duncan is scandalized, but forgives the young couple and they are married.
