Plot

As described in a film magazine,[2] restaurant cashier Rosie Cooper (Walton) is in love with bakery worker Freddie Smith (Butler), but when she helps out customer Jefferson Southwick (Barrows), who has forgotten his pocketbook, Jimmie becomes jealous. Southwick poses as the son of a wealthy merchant, but when they discover his accounts are short, he borrows one hundred dollars from Rosie and then attempts to skip town. She is too smart for him, though, and he lands in jail. Rosie gets her money back and is content with the attentions of Freddie, who is honest even if he is poor.
