Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Peter operates an elaborate haberdashery when his wife elopes with his clerk and bank account. Peter soon becomes bankrupt and is given work by the Earl of Denham, who flirts with Paula, Peter's former cashier. Paula has accompanied Peter to the Earl's estate to work. Peter shields Paula from the Earl's advances, so the Earl sets Peter up in business to get rid of him. However, Paula follows Peter, and drives away the two elopers when they return in an effort to gain Peter's favor.
