In his affectionate embraces he spoils his shirt front. The next morning Fred has occasion to find fault with his laundress, Patricia, who tears the bosom of one of his shirts. He writes her a note saying that unless she is more careful with his shirt-fronts he will have to try elsewhere. At the same time he writes a note to Belle inviting her to the theater. In his haste he sends the first note to Belle and the second to Patricia. The Irish laundress is flattered by his attentions in asking her to the theater, and so much puffed up that she gives her admirer, Patrick, a mason, the cold shoulder. Belle on the other hand is hurt and angered at her lover's allusions to his ruined shirt-front, and tears up the missive. As luck would have it, Pat, Patricia and Fred, and Belle and her father, all go to the Grand the same evening. Fred nearly fails out of the box at finding his laundress in his sweetheart's place, and the laundress on finding out her mistake starts in to pummel her customer over the silk hat with her umbrella. Belle at the sight of her lover in a box with his laundress begs her father to take her from the theater. While Pat immediately sets out to square matters with his apparently more successful rival. When he finishes with Fred, the latter is in ribbons. The mistake is cleared up in the end and both couples are reunited. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
