Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Looking for Mary Jane Gus Merrifield´s father, a millionaire, wants his son to pay an old debt of gratitude by marrying Mary Jane Crabbe, daughter of a former partner. Gus is traveling with two friends, Berkeley (Berk) and Charles. A handsome young opera star, "Carlita" has induced Berk to help her smuggle a Chinaman into the United States in a trunk. Gus receives his father´s peremptory order to find Mary Jane at Mrs. Wentworth´s boardinghouse and marry her. The three friends find there is a Mary Jane in the house, known however as Marie Varney, a young widow. The boys are hard up. They fix up a plan to have Berk get engaged to Marie under Gus´s name, hoping she will break the engagement when she finds the deception. But through Pauline, Mrs. Wentworth´s niece, Marie discovers the scheme, and to punish the boys becomes engaged to all three of them. Then the trunk supposed to contain the Chinaman arrives. The boys are afraid of the police. A real Chinaman, "Carlita´s" jealous husband, and a smallpox scare add other complications. Berk and Gus have really fallen in love, but the girls won´t look at them. Gus´s father arrives to find things badly mixed. But it turns out that "Carlita" is the real Mary Jane, that there was no smuggled Chinaman and no smallpox, and the boys are forgiven and happy.
