When she thinks she has punished Billy enough, she decides to break her engagement with Billy's rival, and to again accept Billy's attentions. But before doing so she requests Billy's rival to return to her the letters that she had written to him during their short courtship, which he absolutely refuses to do. He informs her that he is going to Europe, and that when he returns he will amuse the boys at the club with the letters. In desperation she informs Billy of his rival's intention, and informs him that she cannot accept his offer of marriage while his rival retains those letters. On Billy learning that his rival, whom he has never met, is about to sail for Europe, he decides to burglarize the house and get his sweetheart's letters. But, unfortunately for Billy, his rival misses the boat and returns in time to catch Billy robbing the house. Not knowing Billy, and thinking that he is a burglar, the rival 'phones for the police. He then confronts Billy, who in turn thinks the rival has gone to Europe, mistakes him for a burglar, and when the police arrive Billy has him arrested; but as they are taking him away, the butler, whom Billy has robbed of the keys so that he could enter the house, arrives with a policeman and identifies the rightful owner. They then return to the house to arrest Billy, who succeeds in getting out of the house with the much coveted letters. He returns them to his sweetheart, who then accepts his proposal.
