Percival Montmarency, is a young blood with aspirations for a marriage to a wealthy young lady. He is a handsome young fellow, and he finds in the daughter of the wealthy and aristocratic Mr. Vanastorbilt an easy conquest. Through her importunities to her father Jimmy (otherwise the Hon. Percy), is invited to a swell function at their residence in an aristocratic neighborhood. Jimmy, after partaking of his meal, prepared by himself in his humble light-housekeeping room, starts in to make his toilet. While dressing he places the photo of the much-enamored Mabel Vanastorbilt on a chair and rehearses a love scene with it. He finishes his toilet, starts to go: when he reaches the door he remembers refuse from his meal, which is on the table. He returns, makes a neat parcel, ties it with a string, and places it under his arm. He is next seen leaving the house. His efforts to relieve himself of the parcel are balked at every turn, until at last he begins to arouse the suspicions of the passers-by. A policeman's attentions are directed to his strange actions and he follows Jimmy. Jimmy, in fright and apprehension, starts to run: the policeman follows. The policeman is joined by the others, until finally Jimmy is caught, the patrol wagon is summoned, and Jimmy is taken before the desk sergeant at headquarters and searched. The contents of the parcel are disclosed, the sergeant being of a kindly disposition, sympathizes with Jimmy's discomfiture, calls a taxi and sends him on his way to pay court to the lady of his dreams.
