- Parvenu Ichabod Boggs, the leading pickle manufacturer in the U.S., assumes aristocratic airs and attempts to enter high society by marrying his Harvard-educated son, Monte, to a member of the English gentry. Angered by his father's pretensions, Monte leaves home and marries a showgirl named Hazel Stanley. With Hazel's $5,000 inheritance, the newlyweds corner the market on vinegar, a crucial ingredient for pickles, which she agrees to sell to her father-in-law for $60,000. Ichabod is impressed with Hazel's business acumen and blesses his son's marriage.
- Monte Boggs, the son and heir of the pickle king of America, has just completed his education at Harvard. His father is spending his spare time and money trying to establish a family tree, besides hunting up a titled wife for Monte. Monte takes the whole affair as a huge joke, for he is love with Hazel, who is a regular American girl, with no frills. She will not marry Monte because the perfectly-good pickle money had made him quite useless in the world. Monte, unable to reach an agreement with his father, finally leaves home. When Monte tells Hazel what has happened she insists that they be married at once. Things do not go well with the young couple, as Monte's father is still very bitter. Finally Hazel hits upon the idea of getting an option on the entire output of vinegar for the next year. The way the pickle king is brought to terms provides humorous situations.—Moving Picture World synopsis
