Max is determined to woo Mary, despite her Aunt Agatha's disapproval.

Max and Mary are in love, but Mary's Aunt Agatha dislikes Max, preferring the unappealing Simon, so Max must resort to a series of ruses to try to get Simon out of the way, and to be able to spend time with Mary. Finally, Max comes up with a scheme that might allow him to prove to Aunt Agatha that he is more worthy than Simon.—Snow Leopard
