Jimmie is in love with Mary but does not dare telling here. The brokerage firm
where he's a junior partner is in financial difficulties. When a lawyer visits
him to tell him he's going to inherit money, he and his partner Meekin first
run away believing he is summoning them to a trial. They finally sit together
and read the will, that would give Jimmie seven million dollars if he gets
married before 7 PM on the day of his 27th birthday, which is today. Jimmie
immediately asks Mary in marriage, but clumsy wording about his motivations
causes her to immediately break up with him. She however changes her mind and
sends a hired hand to deliver a note to Jimmie. Meanwhile, Meekin convinces
Jimmie to propose to any of the seven women he knows at the country club
restaurant, to save the firm. One by one, they refuse and mock him. Meekin
then publishes Jimmie's predicament and potential inheritance in the evening
newspaper, announcing that Jimmie would marry any woman who presents herself
at the church at 5 PM. A crowd of veiled woman gathers at the church, but the
priest refuses to perform any ceremony, announcing it was a bad prank.
Escaping the angry women, Jimmie finally receives Mary's note. Followed by the
mob of women, Jimmie runs first through the city then through the countryside
(escaping an avalanche of rocks) to reach Mary's house where Meekin is also
waiting. Alas, Meekin's clock show he's a few minutes too late. Mary still
wants to marry him, money or not, but Jimmie refuses to let her share his
impeding disgrace. As he leaves, he sees from the church's clock that Meekin's
watch was fast. He and Mary wed just in time.

Steamboat Bill's steamer business now has to compete with the steamer of JJ
King's, who already owns half the town. The same day, Bill's son arrives by
train from Boston, where he has finished his studies. King's daughter, whom
Bill Jr. also knows, arrives the same day by car. Kitty expects Bill Jr. to
meet with her on her father's boat in the evening, but Bill Sr. is obviously
opposed to it, and Junior's attempt fails. Bill Sr.'s boat is then declared
unsafe, and when Bill assaults him, King manages to get his competitor thrown
into prison. The day gets very wet and windy. Junior tries to get his father
to escape, first with a bread containing hidden tools, then by accidentally
knocking the sheriff out. When the cyclone hits, buildings are torn away and
JJ's steamer sinks. The jail slides into the river, with Bill Sr. in it.
Junior is flown into the air by the storm and lands into the river. He manages
to climb aboard his father's steamer, rigs remote controls with ropes so that
he can pilot the boat and control the propeller at the same time. He manages
to first rescue Kitty who is clinging to a house that ended in the river, and
then to rescue his father by driving the boat through the floating jail.
Junior then quickly jumps into the river, leaving a puzzled Kitty. But his
intentions become clear when he returns towing a minister.

Rollo, a wealthy man, proposes to his neighbour Betsy, but she refuses. He
then decides to go alone on the honeymoon cruise, and because he does not want
to get up early, boards the ship the night before departure. He however boards
the wrong ship, that happens to just have been sold by Betsy's father to a
small country at war. Betsy's father boards the ship to get back some papers
that were left onboard, just as enemy agents of that country set the ship
adrift. The father is captured, and Betsy boards the ship when she hears him
cry for help just before it gets cut loose. Rollo and Betsy are then stranded
at sea and learn to survive with the food found in the kitchen. The ship
eventually grounds itself and springs a leak near an inhabited tropical
island. Using a diving suit found aboard, Rollo dives to repair the ship, but
Betsy is captured by the natives. Rollo scares them of when he emerges from
the ocean and brings Betsy back to the ship. The natives then attack and board
the ship, Rollo and Betsy fight them back with fireworks, then escape on a
dinghy that starts to sink. They are saved by a submarine that surfaces just
in the nick of time.

When the Civil War reaches Georgia, train engineer Johnnie Gray wants to
enlist to impress his fiancee Annabelle, but he is rejected because he's more
useful as an engineer. Mislead by her brother, Annabelle claims she won't talk
to him until he's in uniform. A year later, Johnnie's train is stolen by a
commando of Union soldiers. Annabelle, who was still aboard the train, is
taken prisoner. Johnnie chases his train first on foot, then by handcar. He
warns the army at the next station, then chases his train using another train,
dodging the Union soldiers' attempt to stop him. He then finds himself in a
territory occupied by Union soldiers, leaves the train and hides in the
forest. By nightfall, he finds shelter in a house, which happens to be the
Union's headquarters, where he learns of their plan and where Annabelle is
kept prisoner. Disguised as a soldier, he rescues her and they hide in the
forest. By morning, they steal the General back, knocking out an officer who
was onboard the train, and flee to the south to warn the Confederate army of
the planned attack, chased by confederate soldiers on two trains. Johnnie
eventually gets rid of his pursuers by setting fire to a bridge and manages to
reach the army. A battle ensues, where the Union soldiers are pushed back.
Johnnie then delivers the knocked-out Union officer to the Confederates, and
is enlisted as a lieutenant as a reward. Annabelle is finally proud of him.
