Alice’s father, a rather lonely invalid, advertises for a companion and secretary. Young Ralph Finn answers the ad in person and gets the position. Alice tries to break the new secretary’s heart, but it is no use. She is angered at this unusual treatment and one day while caught outdoors in a shower, she stays there to make Ralph call for her with umbrella and raincoat. But Ralph merely sends the gardener for her. This time she makes up her mind that she will get even. Seeing her father give some money to Ralph, she manages to get it and hide it. Ralph is horrified at the disappearance of the money, but he is not believed and Alice’s father discharges him at once. A few days later as he is wheeling his mother along the street in her invalid chair, Alice’s motor car crashes into them. The mother is hurt but recovers. Alice tells her father the truth and Ralph is reinstalled in his old position. The girl’s devotion to his mother wins Ralph’s heart and before long the past is entirely forgotten and a bright future looms before them.
