She asks her younger son Jimmy ( Jack Mulhall ) to keep company with the young girl. However, Anthony has already fallen in love with Peggy's mother and the girl learns her mother has turned down his marriage proposal, insisting she will not marry until her daughter has wed.

Now the always impulsive Peggy suddenly decides she really does love Jimmy and they now must marry immediately.
