The maid and the cop are sweethearts. They would marry, but seven dollars is all they can rake up between them. This amount is altogether too small to marry on, especially in these days with the high cost of living. Now, Mrs. Richsnob, the maid’s employer, catches the pair together. She promptly sends the cop about his business and abuses the heartbroken maid. The latter becomes mighty sore and indignant. In a moment of vindictiveness the angry little maid mails Mrs. Richsnob’s photograph to a matrimonial agency with an inscription inviting the attentions of all men with marriageable intentions. The maid’s scheme for revenge works to perfection. Gallant men folk crowd the fashionable home of the Richsnobs, laying their hearts at the feet of the gasping and shocked mistress. The maid views the coming of the men and the subsequent distress of her haughty employer with profound glee. Mr. Richsnob returns home. He furiously attacks the crowd of matrimonial applicants. But he, himself, is taken for one of their number and is forcibly ousted. The distress of Mrs. Richsnob becomes extreme. Then her hubby returns with the maid’s sweetheart, the cop. The maid manages to get the cop aside. She whispers her scheme. The cop is quick to recognize opportunity when it comes. “It will cost you just $500.00 to clean ‘em out.” Richsnob balks. But just then he gets a glimpse of his wife’s awful position. He wilts and hands the cop the money. Then the latter gets busy. Later the maid and her gallant cop are left free to continue their courtship without interruption. |
