Eli, always one for the women, has brought back his latest conquest. Unbeknownst to him Nellie has smuggled in her own guest, Ernest, her great missionary friend from Africa. Ernest is desperate to marry Nellie, which excites Eli greatly, as this could be his big chance to offload Nellie to the jungles of Africa and thus take over the house.

However, things take a turn for the worse as the nervous groom (aided by Eli's beer fuelled bachelor party) talks himself out of it. The blushing bride is destined to walk down the aisle alone.
