By his persistency and boldness he works himself into the good graces of the industrious young man's sweetheart and succeeds in making quite an impression on the young lady as well as her parents, who extend an invitation to him to attend the theater, which of course he accepts. The next evening, just as he is getting ready to dress for the theater party, the widow who keeps the boarding house compels him to mind her baby while she does some marketing. Being indebted to her for a considerable amount of money, he cannot very well refuse, and the poor "four-flusher" has an awful time of it, trying to shave himself and pacify the squalling baby at the same time. Meanwhile the young lady and her parents, tired of waiting, come to his lodgings to ascertain the cause of his delay. They arrive just in time to hear the widow berating him, not only for being so far in arrears, but for abusing the baby as well, and accordingly she shows him the door. The young lady's parents, learning the true state of affairs, quickly decide that he would never do for their son-in-law, and the industrious young man once more finds favor in their eyes and is made happy by having his sweetheart restored to his arms again.
