Gobb is in love with Susan, the General's niece. In the course of time the hostelry is actually honored by two guests, Dustin Duldge and his wife. Duldge appreciates Susan's charms, which gets him in bad with his wife and stirs up Gobb. Gobb is of a romantic, nature and inclined. Susan is not particularly responsive to his affections and he drowns his disappointment in a highly-colored novel, which he steals into the room adjoining the Dudges to read. He is so inspired that he forgets his surroundings and begins to impersonate the arduous lover. Mrs. Duldge, who has smiled on Gobb, hears his impassioned outpourings, and climbing on a chair peers through a transom. Susan, passing, also hears her erstwhile lover apparently importuning another fair one. She arrives at Duldge's with a pitcher of ice water just as Duldge comes in, and they listen to the amorous appeal from the other room. Duldge goes for his wife and Susan retreats to weep. Duldge decides to teach Gobb a lesson and leaves a note signed "D" to lure the unsuspecting Gobb to his fate. Susan has chosen suicide when she finds the note and jealousy gets the better of self-pity. By separate ways Susan and Duldge reach the trysting place. Gobb finds the note which he takes to be from Duldge to Susan, and getting Mrs. Duldge he goes to avenge himself. Duldge and Susan have discovered each other. Susan tells him her suspicions and he is trying to comfort her when Gobb and Mrs. Duldge arrive and think they are making love. Mrs. Duldge drags Duldge away and Susan and Gobb make up.
