Immediately he becomes much infatuated, so much so that he decides he would like to have an office of his own. Thinking perhaps that his son may amount to something, his father rents an office for him. Harry patiently waits for business, but day after day finds him without any one entering his door. Finally one day he gets an idea. He decides he will find out what his father is doing. He bores a hole in the floor and with a telescope reads a business deal in the typewriter of his father's stenographer's machine. Quickly he telephones Dot, who comes down to his office. He orders her to take the notes down. They plan to get enough money together from their fathers to marry. Checks are given them by their fathers. They go to the firm of Smith and Smith, who have the option for Harry's father and buy the option through their brokers, Brown and White. Harry's father, in the meantime, decides he will buy the option, so he in turns goes to his brokers, but finds that Brown and White have the option now. The old man pays twice as much for the option. Harry and Dot are given the checks. Dot returns home and Harry to his office. Harry then writes Dot, telling her that now they can elope. Harry tells his father that he must go to the seashore and Dot informs her parents she is not well and also must go to the seashore. They meet outside, go to the ministers and are married.
