Plot: Jack and his twin sister, Jacqueline, are good pals and the girl is as able a sportsman as her brother. He comes home to spend the holidays and the girl is overjoyed. They plan a hunting expedition. But an invitation arrives from Jim Clark inviting Jack to a house party, and to Jacqueline's dismay he decides to go. At the last moment a wire from his father calls him to town. Jacqueline, left alone, gets an idea. She will impersonate a friend of Jack's and attend the party. She wires ahead informing them that Will Graham, a jolly good fellow, is on his way to join the party. She signs the telegram "Jack." She borrows Jack's clothes and sets off. She takes a room at the hotel and later goes down to the party where the supposed "boy" is received cordially. Lois, to whom Jack is devoted, is a trifle disappointed but finds the stranger good company. Will Graham proves a master hand at tennis and a capital shot. He puts all the other gentlemen of the party to shame. In the meantime Jack and his father arrive home. Jack misses his clothes and realizes what Jacqueline must have done. He tells his father and they start after her. They arrive at the hotel and find her name on the register. Shown into her room they find young Jim Clark holding a boy's wig in his hand. The door to the other room is locked and Jacqueline evidently inside. The case is explained to Jim who is relieved at the explanation. Jacqueline is brought out and after many invitations from Jim, consents to remain at the party with her father and brother. And the Jolly Good Fellow and Jim soon become as inseparable as Jack and Lois.
