A young man leaves the country to come to the big city. He wins a thousand dollar reward for stopping a runaway horse. A family, consisting of a father and about eight children, have been dispossessed, and the eldest girl decides that the easiest way to find a home for her family is to marry the young man with the thousand-dollar reward. So the young farmer and his many in-laws take up their abode in a houseboat. The villain finally sets the houseboat adrift and the baby is rescued from a watery grave by our hero.
