Owen, in a bad temper, orders her away from his side of the stream and they quarrel, but as they argue, they become attracted to the other. They meet again and again and a love grows between them. Mary's Uncle Bill has an affection for a lonely spinster and they plan to be married, but she wants Mary to be married off first. Mary and Owen elope and are married, and when next seen, they are having breakfast on the seashore in the morning sun.
