About His New Mamma

An aging father thinks his farm-boy son is after the father's fiancée and banishes him. The son goes to California and drives a cab, where a fare introduces him to a young woman. Work takes him to the beach, and he sees the fiancée with another man. He and the young woman follow her and try to stop her marrying yet another rich man.
