Long Pants plot
Harry Shelby (Harry Langdon) is curbed by his overprotective parents and still wears shorts. When the day finally comes for Harry to get his first pair of pants, he is expected to immediately marry his childhood sweetheart Priscilla (Priscilla Bonner). Harry, who tastes freedom dressed in his long trousers, sets out and loses his head because of the modaine Bebe (Alma Bennett). While he mistakenly believes that Bebe is falling for him, he tries to help her when she ends up in prison and gets himself into trouble as a result. Meanwhile, sweet, sweet-natured Priscilla waits at home for her husband-to-be to come to his senses.
