They are in a quandary what to do as their dress suits are in pawn. At last they hit upon an idea; they will pawn some of their wearing apparel in exchange for their dress suits. At the pawn shop the broker decides the collateral offered insufficient to redeem the two dress suits and offers a dress suit and a half in exchange. They accept his offer and agree to wear the coat alternately at the social function. Oliver wins the privilege of wearing the garment first. On the eventful evening they are welcomed by Miss Ethel and immediately w rite their names on her dancing program, after which Henry steals out on the porch and patiently waits. At the termination of the first dance Oliver slips out to the porch and surrenders the precious attire to Henry, who immediately enters the house. Once with the whirling dancers he forgets his part of the contract and poor Oliver is left out on the porch gazing through the window at the gay throng inside. He induces the butler to deliver a message to Oliver reminding him of his contract. By this time Ethel becomes apprehensive at Oliver's non-appearance and upon interrogating the butler learns of his hiding place. She locates him and he makes a full confession of his predicament, Ethel now induces the butler to surrender his own dress suit and vest to Oliver, who now, properly attired, returns with Ethel to the ballroom where he declares his love and learns to his joy that the feeling is mutual.
