- Vincent Lee is a crook. In pursuit of business, he arrives at the beach with the regular summer crowd. He is accompanied by his "valet," one "Shifty." Nan Larson is another who lives by her wits. Lee sees her plying her trade and invites her up to his room to talk business. He suggests she join him in a partnership, and she accepts. Jonathan Harkness and his wife, typical country people, are stopping at the hotel. In carrying out their plans Nan is established in the hotel with a maid and soon blossoms forth. Vincent scrapes acquaintance with Harkness and one day while he and Harkness are talking Nan nonchalantly strolls by and speaks to Vincent. Harkness is interested, is introduced to the girl and gladly accompanies her for a stroll as his better half is busy writing letters in her room. Harkness is willing to be led along and Nan uses her art on him. At last one night he tells his wife that he is not sleepy and will remain in the lobby to smoke and talk. He then calls up Nan's apartment and begs her to let him come up for a while. Harkness is admitted to the room, which is closed. He complains of the heat and Nan naively suggests he remove his coat. At first he demurs, but finally does so. At this point Lee returns to Nan's room on an errand and discovers them. Vincent suggests that it would be fine to tell Mrs. Harkness of her husband's presence in the room, and the victim, glad to get out, is strung to the tune of $1,000 for the silence of Lee. He returns to his room, having learned a never-to-be-forgotten lesson.—Moving Picture World synopsis
