A man who is so overwhelmed with business engagements that he cannot find time to pay the proper court to his fiancée, finds himself in a peculiar position, and at the mercy of his secretary, whom he sends in his place each time that he has an engagement with the young lady. We see the busy fellow write a note and give it to his secretary introducing the latter to the girl, stating that he will take his place and go driving with her. When the young man arrives at the girl’s home she is growing impatient, and when she reads the note she is indignant, but makes the most of the situation and away they go in a rig to a lonely part of the wood. They get out and gather wildflowers, and while the girl is climbing over a rock she injures her foot and the young man is compelled to hurry her home before he has an opportunity to tell her of his infatuation for her. He comes again and things are beginning to take a serious turn, for the young lady is conscious of his attentions. Her fiancé drops in for a moment and rushes away unheeding the entreaties of the girl and her parents to remain. This infuriates the father, and much to the satisfaction of the secretary, he writes a note to the busy lover telling him that as he is much too busy to think of marrying, his daughter has decided to wed the secretary. The young couple then receive the father’s blessing and are happy ever after.
