Absent-Minded Man" makes up his mind to get married but forgets to propose to the girl he had in mind, who is already engaged to another, very much to the surprise of the absent-minded man, who goes to sleep and forgets all about her. He proposes to another young lady, buys an engagement ring, forgets what he has bought it for, gives it as a tip to a messenger boy, then wonders what he has done with it. Suddenly waking, he gets down to business, and on the night of the wedding, he is overcome by that "tired feeling," goes to sleep, and suddenly wakes up, happens to remember that he is to be wed, arrives at the church at the last moment, is married, and after the wedding, starts on his honeymoon trip with his bride, so preoccupied in other thoughts that he gets on the railroad train without her. She is lost in the crowd of embarking passengers, and all oblivious of his obligations as a husband, he makes his way to the smoker, where he goes soundly to sleep and is lost to the world, while his newly-wedded wife is left weeping alone on the station platform to retrace her steps to home and mother.
