The clerk and the stenographer are in love. The boss, who is married, never suspects it. The stenographer goes out to lunch and loses her pocketbook. She returns to the office crying. The boss comforts her and makes good the amount she lost. She continues to cry and the boss kindly pats her on the back. The clerk sees this and imagining that he is about to lose his girl, becomes insanely jealous. He writes a letter to the boss’ wife, telling her to watch him and the typist. That afternoon the typist and the clerk make up and the clerk takes her in his arms and kisses her. At this moment the boss enters and kicks the clerk out. The typist attacks the boss and she also is discharged. The boss then phones an employment agency for the homeliest typist they have, hoping thus to do away with all lovemakmg in his office. They send a very, very, homely woman and she is installed as typist. Meanwhile the boss’ wife determines to find out about her husband’s doings with the typist, and getting a revolver, goes to the office, after first having written the typist that she would kill her. The old typist returns for her bag and the new typist chases her out. She tells the clerk and he goes back. Meanwhile the boss’ wife has arrived, and upon seeing the typist, realizes that her suspicions have been false, as her husband could never leave her for one so homely. The clerk arrives and is chased out. The typist, scared by the revolver, also runs out and seeks a policeman. However, hubby returns and embracing his wife, she tears up the note that aroused her jealousy. |
