Bumski is a pianist. He pays attention to Miss Smooth, who, in spite of his rude manners, treats him as if she were very much smitten with him. This angers her brother and he determines to end matters before they go too far. He induces Maggie, the maid of the scullery, to appear in evening finery, and introduces her to Bumski as a friend of his. Bumski immediately transfers his affections, leaving both Miss Smooth and Dawkins, the butler, who is Maggie’s sweetheart, very angry. Maggie tells Bomski that she does not like him to wear his hair so long, and he promises that he will get it cut short. This he does, and the next day, minus his main stock in trade, he again visits the Smooths and asks to see Maggie. Miss Smooth, provoked, takes him to the kitchen, and there he sees Maggie as she really is. He leaves hurriedly and tries to get into Miss Smooth’s good graces again, but he is rebuffed. He is ordered out of the house, and he leaves bemoaning the loss of his beautiful hair. Miss Smooth is forever cured of pianists and their temperament, while Maggie returns to her old love, the butler.
