A young bachelor, hunting butterflies in the south, is informed by his mother that a beautiful girl will soon visit his hotel. He moves elsewhere. The girl, seeking diversion, goes to the cabin of an old mammy who has done some laundry work for her, and in a spirit of fun takes home some washing for the old lady. On the way she falls in with the bachelor, and the acquaintance thus formed ripens into a love affair which progresses through many whimsical adventures.
