Uncle receives a telegram that his nephew Milton, whom his mother describes as an angel, is coming to visit them. However, Milton is just finishing a very interesting game of poker. On his way to his compartment he meets and flirts with Lizette of the Follies, and she asks him to call. Milton, who imagines his uncle and cousin are of the angelic type, prepares to meet them on their own ground.
