- A day at the park starts out well when two couples enter a boat race, but things start going south when the boys lose their shirts and one of the girls loses her dress.
- Carol is an adjuster and June is a switchboard operator in the offices of a big dept. store. It is Saturday and the offices close at 1pm. Their boss, Mr. Hill, asks June if she would like to go out with him, but she turns him down, explaining that she has to spend the afternoon with her mother. Blonde Carol complains to redhead June that all the men are attracted to her as a redhead, while none even "give me a tumble." June watches as Carol comes on to Eddie, a young office boy, without success and explains to Carol that her "technique is terrible." June proceeds to give Carol a demonstration of how to do it correctly, by creating interest in her from Charlie Jones, a handsome and hitherto uninterested-in-girls office worker. Charlie asks her to go boating and dancing in the park, which is overheard by the rejected Mr. Hill, who tells her she will have to stay at the switchboard that afternoon. Consequently, Charlie goes off with Carol. Eddie has a model plane entered in a contest that afternoon and asks June if she would be his girl at the event. But, she explains, she has to work. Eddie runs off to get some sodas. While he's gone, she notices a man in the building across the street and sends the plane over with a note saying she is lonesome and provides her phone number. The man calls her and when she asks what he looks like, he quotes a magazine description of Clark Gable, tells he his name is Clark and sends back the plane which breaks the glass in Mr. Hill's door and knocks a bottle of ink on him. Hill thinks Eddie caused all this and tells him he will have to stay at the switchboard and tells June she may go - so she makes a date to meet Clark in the park. At the park Eddie and Carol are found by June, who says she has a date and has to go meet Clark. Just at that time, Clark rides by on his bike, and his general appearance causes them to laugh. Clark, bumbling, inept, and sometimes shy, rides right into a boat moored near the shore, wrecking his bike, and upsetting the couple (Mr. Hill and his date) in the boat. Back on shore he runs through a couples' large ice cream cake and their wicker lunch basket. He then finds June, whose laughter at this farce evaporates as she realizes this is Clark. Eventually, June with Charlie and Carol with Clark gets boats and proceed to hit Mr. Hill's boat, one after the other, leaving Hill screaming, at Clark in particular, that if this happens again he'll break Clark's neck. June and Charlie find a secluded spot where they can neck, when Clark and Carol pull up alongside them. June tells Clark to go to the other side of the park. He and Carol take off, but after a few minutes Carol tells him to stop - she's got necking on her mind as well. She tells Clack to throw out the anchor, which accidentally strips off her skirt, which disappears into the water. Now frantic to get pack to shore, Clark steers his boat into Mr. Hill's boat and knocks Hill into the water. Hill gets a pick from his boat and puts a hole is Clark's boat, which starts to sink. Carol is screaming "Save me, I can't swim," and Clark picks he up and steps into the water, which is only up to his ankles and just stands there holding Carol, who continues to scream "Save me, I can't swim."
