Three young girls, pledged to spinsterhood and contempt for mankind, go camping in the woods. Three boys, unpledged to anything save fun and the joy of living, likewise go camping. Fate spins the wheel and the six, pledged and unpledged, pitch their tents not far apart. The boys get curious about their neighbors and investigate. The girls spurn their advances and the boys retreat in good order to plan a new campaign. The boys play Indians and frighten the girls into hysterics, almost. One of the girls, in the excitement, fires a gun. The shot strikes one of the boys, inflicting a slight wound. He sends word to the girls' camp that he is wounded unto death and needs the ministrations of one of the girls, or he may die. Womanly sympathy gets the upper hand and the girls go to the boys' tent. Cupid does the rest and the play ends in a triple love making and prospective marriages.
