Beatrice meets a charming young fellow and feels sure that she has won the bet. Edna, however, soon has her efforts rewarded and feels confident she has made the better catch of the day. Imagine the consternation of Beatrice, when she finds her hero enacting the role of bell hop at the hotel and later, that of Edna, when she discovers that her Beau Brummel is none other than a waiter in the dining room. Both girls are pretty sore until new quarry appears in the person of a prosperous looking broker. Both exert their charm upon the newcomer. To her great chagrin Beatrice learns that he is a married man. The broker is astounded when he recognizes in the waiter his only son, whom he has sent from his door several months previous to earn his own living. He is taken into the paternal bosom and all is well. The broker's son seeks to have his father square him with Edna, which the father gladly does. Beatrice sees that she is thoroughly beaten and, discovering the happy couple upon the beach, slyly slips her forfeited bracelet to Edna. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
