Bertie finds a bank book showing a small credit to the owner. The same day his landlady tells him he must pay up or skidoo. He gets an idea. Taking the bank book he writes in deposits amounting to $50,000. That night at dinner he apparently unconsciously drops the bank book in the dining room where it is found by one of the young lady boarders and shown to everyone in the house. This means instantaneous popularity for Bertie. The landlady from that time on cannot do enough for him. She consents to his marriage with her daughter and insists on showering attentions galore upon him, much to the disgust of the other men boarders. The final outcome causes the ladies of the household to bemoan their fate and the men rejoice.
