Synopsis: [From Keystone promotional materials] Mabel arrives at the summer resort and has many lovers. Possessed of a beautiful figure, she decides to put the men to a test, and when donning her bathing suit fills her stockings with numerous bumps. When she discards her coat at the beach all the men beat a hasty retreat with the exception of one who “peeped” when Mabel was fixing up. Her next appearance in her bathing suit, minus the ungainly protuberances causes consternation among the men who have been foiled.
