Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Bud secures a “love magnet” from Prof. Bunkem that attracts all the pretty girls to him. Jealous, Ham goes to the professor for a magnet also. He takes his when the professor is not looking and by mistake gets one that attracts only old maids. When Ham and Bud meet they are up against it for women of all ages and conditions of beauty flock to them by the score. Finally the pursuit brings them to the edge of the sea into which Ham and Bud plunge in desperation. Far out on the wild waves even the mermaids answer the call of the magnet, but as there are only pretty mermaids Ham and Bud do not object in the least.
