The opening scene shows a young man calling upon his sweetheart. He requests her to play upon the piano, and while she is rendering a favorite selection he picks up a book and starts to read. He becomes so engrossed he does not notice she has ceased playing, and when she turns and finds him reading instead of listening to her playing, she becomes enraged and sends him away, vowing never to speak to him again. However, the young man loves the girl, and the next morning we find him at his office, very much cast down. The office boy is a bright youngster and quickly discovers the reason for his employer's downheartedness. He tries to persuade him to call upon the girl and ask forgiveness, but with no result. The boy now hits upon an idea. He goes to the young lady's home and asks her to forgive his employer, but this she will not do. He now evolves another idea. He writes two notes, one to the girl and one to his employer, telling each that he has been hit by an automobile and wants them to come and see him. He gives the notes to a messenger boy for delivery and going home gets into bed to make good his bluff. Both the girl and the employer are very fond of the office boy and immediately upon receipt of the notes they hurry away to his home. When the sweethearts see each other their expressions and actions show they cannot pass without the want of an embrace. The boy slides out of bed, takes the hand of the girl and puts it into the hand of her sweetheart. Reconciliation follows.
