Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] a young woman who works as a cigar counter clerk in a hotel is abandoned by her sweetheart when he graduates from a mechanic’s job to a sales position. She accepts the attentions of a rich youth in a spirit of revenge directed toward her former suitor. The youth thrashes the ex-mechanic and elopes with the young woman, who is well enough pleased with the outcome of her two romances.
