Synopsis

The brother and sister team of Dick and Susie Trevor are down on their luck having been evicted from the family home for failing to pay their rent.  In an effort to silence their growling stomachs they head for wealthy Jo Vanderwater's garden party.

Dick is in love with Shirley Vernon but because he is broke, steers clear of her and is vulnerable to Jo's affluent charms.  meanwhile Susie is captivated by a charming "hobo" but tries to convince herself to like eligible Jeff White instead.

So the web is woven with the siblings listening to their heads, not their hearts.

Watty Watkins the local lawyer tries to get Jo to help but discovers that it was Jo, with designs on Dick, who was behind the eviction in the first place.  Jack the "hobo" expresses his affections for Susie but then leaves town.

Flamboyant Manual Estrada hires Watty to find a Jack Robinson because Manual's sister married him in Mexico.  This is important as Jack has become a millionaire on the recent death of his uncle.  Watty begs Susie to help him in the task of getting the Robinson estate to pay off Senorita Estrada.  This will require Susie to don a disguise which, for a payment of $50,000, she agrees to do.  Dick, believing he can never afford his true love Shirley, proposes to Jo.

Order is eventually restored in Act 2.  Dick professes his true love to Shirley and Watty Susie (disguised) try to claim the money left by Jack Robinson's uncle.  Jack, still dressed as a hobo, returns when he hears he is the heir to a fortune, but is shocked to find Susie, the lovely young girl he met earlier, claiming the money as his "widow".  Susie does not know that her "hobo" is newly wealthy Jack, nor that she is being used by Manuel Estrada, whose sister never really married Jack.

Jack saves Susie from disgrace and proclaims his love, Dick and Shirley are reunited, Jo and Watty form a happy love knot.  A multiple wedding is sure to close the curtain.
