Ruth, a charming young co-ed, breaks her engagement with William Mason. She tells him she wants a titled husband with a fortune. Mason, with a gloomy countenance, returns to his room at the frat house. There gathered are his chums, "Cal" Bobbins, Wash Bryant and Sid Bathbum. Noticing the look of discontentment on the face of Mason, they ask the reason for it. Mason tells them. "Cal" looking out the window sees the milkman and motions for him to come up. Mason leaves the room. The milkman is persuaded and bribed to go to the ball that evening as the Laird of McGillicuddy. The editor of the college paper is given the information that the Laird of McGillicuddy will be present at the ball. Ruth, with a number of her girl friends, read the paper and prepare for big festivities. That evening "Skinny," the milkman, in the costume of a Scotch Highland nobleman, is presented to the ladies at the ball. He dances with Ruth, tears her dress and disgraces himself generally. Mason, discovering his sweetheart's torn dress, pins it up for her. Admiring his gallant procedure she smiles at him. Finally when the clock strikes twelve the Laird of McGillicuddy, transforming himself into "Skinny" the milkman by pulling his false beard from his face, tells the group about him, that it is about time he was starting on his milk route. Being thoroughly disgusted with titles, pretty Ruth consents to be the charming bride of Mason.
