Mary, true to form, decides to give Jack the lesson of his life - so becomes engaged to him and at a party permits the engagement to be announced. It is. And straightaway Mary forbids Jack to smoke, drink, play cards or dance with any other girl. Poor Jack realizes the shackles thus imposed and seeks to relieve himself of the engagement pact, when he learns that his rival, Jim, has inscribed the memo in his (Jack's) diary and there's a wild battle, after which Mary acknowledges her deception in engaging herself to Jack, and they both decide to bury the hatchet and really become engaged.
