And she has a big brother Steve, who looks after her. One day there arrives in town Albert Simpson, and he lingers, attracted by the charms of Irene. She is averse to going for motor rides, but Albert prevails and she at last agrees to go if he will promise to be back before dark. On the road Albert has a breakdown, and Irene, thinking that it is a "stall," telephones Steve to come out. When he gets insulting, Albert gives him a licking and tells him to get out. Then he says to Irene that if she thinks the car is not broken, she can fix it. So Irene has to go under and fix the machine. When she comes out all dirty he makes her kiss him and then says that they are engaged. The poor girl has no alternative, so she agrees. A few days later it is discovered that Albert is the son of the president of a large manufacturing concern that is going to open up in town, so that Irene is more than delighted with her forced engagement.
