Bob Stevens, a plumber, is her "steady." Maime makes the acquaintance of Max Fletcher, a flashily-dressed confidence man, who discovers that Maime has a little hoard of money saved up. He declares he is a real estate agent, and suggests she invest in some lots he claims to own. Maime is flustered by his attention and dazzled at the prospects of making a fortune. She gives Bob a cold "turn-down" and accepts an invitation to go to supper with Max. Bob learns that Maime is going with Max to look over some real estate and spend the day at Coney Island afterwards. Bob meets a detective, who has Max under observation, and the two shadow Maime and Max. He shows her some vacant lots, purported to be his, but she refuses to pay over the money, as she has a notion that a business deal cannot be put through on Sunday. She and Max then go to dinner, still watched by Bob and the detective. Here the confidence man pretends his pockets have been picked, and apologetically borrows Maime's purse. He starts an argument over the dinner bill, and starts for the manager's office, but instead skips out a side door with Maime's hard-earned savings. He is seen by the detective, who arrests him. Maime becomes worried and suspicious at Max's long absence, when Bob appears and saves her from further trouble by paying the dinner bill. Benson then arrives, bringing Max in handcuffs. The purse is restored to Maime. and she, humbly grateful, tells Bob she has learned a lesson. He readily forgives her, and the two walk off arm-in-arm.
