Billie has her own ideas: she loves Nolan, Fridays, 13s, and other unlucky things; and after arguing, Nolan must capitulate. Then things started. A black cat crosses Nolan's path; a minister who later proves to be of the absent-minded kind, agrees to perform the marriage ceremony; a careless driver nearly runs over our hero; and to make things look even darker, a picture falls from the wall as he enters his apartment. At the time set for the wedding ceremony approaches, his best man Nolan comes in and finds his friend in the throes of anxiety. As he tries to cheer him up, the long-expected package from the tailor arrives. Instead of the wedding suit Nolan finds someone else's tweed suit. Harry runs to the tailor shop, only to find it closed. While thinking of a place to find a full dress suit for his friend, he happens to see in an alley a waiter enjoying a smoke. A fair compensation could not induce the waiter to part with his suit, so Harry resolves to secure the suit at any price, and after a short struggle the waiter was hiding in a barrel and Harry ran away with the coveted clothes, which, however, had sustained a considerable amount of damage. Arriving at Nolan's room, Harry mends the rent to the trousers and Nolan manages to get into the clothes and passes inspection with strict instructions not to stoop. At Billie's home, anxiety prevailed. The minister, who had mislaid the address, was late; the bridegroom and the best man failed to appear, and Billie was thinking of Friday the 13th. But finally the minister came, followed by Nolan and Harry. Everything went right at first, but Nolan dropped his gloves and forgot Harry's advice. He stooped and ripped his trousers. He rushes with Billie into the next room, and behind a screen takes his pants off and asks Billie to repair them. Some of the guests in the confusion following the accident enter the room where our hero was standing in his B.V.D.'s. To avoid detection he backs through a door into the reception hall, where he creates a sensation. After a chase all over the house Nolan finally lands into a bedroom, followed by Billie, who hands him his trousers, the cause of such a disturbance. As they come into the reception hall everybody laughs and Billie swears that she will never get married on a Friday again. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
