The action begins in the apartment of Howard Beeckman, a young society bachelor. He leaves his handsome apartment in the charge of Kirby, his valet, and enjoins upon the said Kirby the strictest good behavior during his month’s absence. The scene ends by showing how Kirby intends to observe this injunction. He goes to the telephone and apparently sends an invitation to some of his pals. Then the scene shifts to a handsome suite at the Waldorf where Mr. and Mrs. Bradley and their pretty daughter are stopping, and from which place they are writing an advertisement for an apartment such as they want. And then we travel to the morning after Kirby’s party. Kirby discovers that he is without money, the game of the night before having taken all of his wages. In the midst of his quandary as to what to do his eye lights upon the advertisement of the Bradleys, and he resolves to answer it and rent them his master’s apartment. The plan succeeds. Then Kirby disappears with the advance rental in his pocket and goes out to “see the town.” But Beeckman unexpectedly returns in the middle of the night soon after the Bradleys are settled, and is confronted by “Papa” Bradley and other members of the family en deshabille. After explanations have been made Beeckman’s eye lights upon the pretty daughter. The sight of her arouses all the chivalry in his New York nature, and he promptly offers to take himself off and leave them in possession of his apartment. But he does not stay away, evidently, for we see him a few days later at the piano with the girl, and something in the way they behave and look at each other suggests that a love story is in progress. Kirby returns and is pardoned, as he has been an unsuspecting Cupid. There is a little epilogue scene which shows their first home breakfast together and Kirby as a sort of guardian angel of the household. |
