A couple decides to elope at midnight. Instead of finding his bride waiting for him, the groom finds her father and six policemen. After a wild chase, the would-be groom is finally brought before the judge who pronounces his sentence in the form of a marriage indictment, much to the anger and surprise of the father and joy of the bride. The judge goes still further and sentences the unwilling father to write a big check in favor of the newly-married couple.
