Bess just can't help flirting. This makes Lee sore. Wherever he takes her, it's the same old story; she flirts and they quarrel. The climax came when he takes her to a party. She had promised she would not flirt with a soul, but what's the use. She and Lee quarrel and are parted. To spite Lee Bess lets three boys promise to take her home, neither boy knowing the other's intention. They learn of the racket, however, and inform Lee. They fix it so Bess hasn't an escort home. Lee even deserts her. Bess refuses to let the butler accompany her home, as the hostess suggests, and starts out alone. On her way she is spoken to by a young dude and only by the timely appearance of a working man, is she saved from further annoyance. The working man accompanies her to her corner. Meanwhile Lee has taken the other girl home. Feeling he has done wrong, he hurries to overtake Bess before she reaches home. Almost there, he sees her approaching. She is in no forgiving mood. The honest working man, stopping at the corner to light his pipe, glances back. He sees what he supposes is another dude accosting the young lady. Quickly reaching her side, he downs Lee. Bess screams and explains matters. Bess, now repentant, goes on home with Lee. At the gate, they patch up all differences and start out to live more happily.
