Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The film starts where many just leave off. The minister at the wedding of Jack and Jennie is just pronouncing the solemn words, “I pronounce you man and wife.” The scene changes to the doorway of a university. A freshman is undergoing the initial step of entering college; hazing. We see him dart out of the door, followed by a dozen college boys. They are near the railway station and the freshman darts into the station and out on the platform. It is then that we note the strong resemblance of the two fellows. The train has pulled up and Jennie is anxiously waiting, when the freshman backs into her. She seizes him by the wrist and drags him aboard the train. The flabbergasted youth does not know nor care where the woman is dragging him. He only hopes to escape the clutches of the rowdy Sophs. The train pulls out and Jennie discovers her mistake when they are seated in the Pullman. “You are not my husband.” she says, looking at him aghast. And Jack, who has returned just in time to see the tail end of the train disappearing around a curve, looks around for his wife. Then the dozen sophomores grab him and hustle him away, believing him to be the freshman. They give him a rough hazing before the discovery that he is the wrong man is made. They are all sympathy immediately and offer to do all in their power to get him out of the scrape. After other complications Jack and Jennie locate each other and continue on their wedding trip and the elusive freshman is hauled off by the college boys, who give him a double dose of the medicine he refused to take.
