Boulter, the store floorwalker, is determined to break the engagement and win Fay for himself. Fay is indifferent to Boulter's threat that he will cause her to lose her job. She should worry; Roderick will protect her. On a certain occasion, Fay's trust in her dear Roderick is shaken when she sees him in the park giving his attention to a young girl named Margy. Boulter consoles Fay and she, anxious to get even with Roderick, pretends to be sweet on Boulter. To her disappointment, Roderick does not see the pretended flirtation. Fay is angry and when Boulter gets too fresh. Fay slaps his face. Her job is now not worth a cent. Boulter only awaits an opportunity to "get something on her." Roderick gets a note from Fay telling him it is all off. Fay refuses to see him. Margy does some shopping at the store. A shoplifter is watching an opportunity at Fay's counter. Fay is attending to Margy. Margy lays down a $10 bill to pay for a pair of stockings. The shoplifter gets the ten and puts it in a stocking, one of a cheap pair, and gets the boy at the wrapping desk to tie them up. Margy misses her $10. A dispute follows. In the excitement the shoplifter leaves with Margy's bundle of silk hose and Margy, after getting her change from the angry proprietor, leaves with the package of cheap hose, which also contains her $10. It happens that the boy at the wrapping desk forgot to break the string on the package Margy is carrying. The string unwinds for several blocks, until Fay sees it. Margy has set her package down for a moment. Fay starts to pull the string back. Margy chases after her package. Things look bad for Fay. The proprietor has told her that she must replace the ten dollars or be discharged. Fay continues to pull the string and Margy loses track of her bundle. A fat man steps on the string and breaks it. Roderick, on the way home, finds the package. He takes it to his room. Fay is discharged after refusing the aid of Boulter, who offers to make good the $10. She goes to Roderick to give him back his ring. Margy has gone to Roderick's room to tell him about her loss. Roderick opens the package he has found. Margy is satisfied that they are her stockings. Fay arrives in time to see Margy, Roderick and stockings. She returns the ring. Fay's troubles are cleared up when Roderick tells Fay that Margy is his cousin. They find the $10 in one of the stockings. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
