"Stuffy" Hicks, the press agent, was put on the job. He concocted a plan whereby Cissy was to feign loss of memory and leave a note addressed to Mr. Sheppard. the town's leading banker. When Cissy was discovered in her room at the hotel, she was given all sorts of drugs to restore her mind. Finally overwrought nature rebelled, and Cissy's refusal to take any more medicine gave the whole scheme away. Meanwhile Sheppard, the banker, was much distressed at his name being involved and called on Cissy. The tables were turned on Stuffy Hicks since the hotel employees forced him to take the noxious mixtures intended for Cissy. Just as the manager was about to discharge the luckless Stuffy the would-be publicist got his nerve up and quit. But the real winner was Cissy. She accepted the banker's proposal and thereby won a husband. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
