On returning from a walk with her lover, the girl is handed a box of American beauties, accompanied by a note. The lover asks to see it; she in a spirit of fun refuses and tells him to guess the name of the writer. He then demands to know the name of the sender and she, refusing to divulge same, a quarrel ensues and he leaves the house in anger. Arriving at his home, he seats himself before the fire and sadly ponders on the fickleness of women. Finally, he falls asleep and in his dream sees in himself another man. Suddenly awaking, he sees himself in evening attire leaving the room. Hastily arising from the chair and picking up his pistol, he follows his Other Self. His Other Self leads the way to the girl's home, he in pursuit. His Other Self enters the house and room from which he, himself, had departed in anger a few hours previous. He arrives on the scene just in time to see the girl struggling in the arms of his Other Self. No longer able to resist the temptation, he fires at his Other Self, who has dared to ill-treat his sweetheart. Apparently the shot does not take effect, for his Other Self, with a smile of satisfaction, turns and leaves the room. The dreamer now awakes in reality and at once rushes to the telephone to be satisfied that his fears are unfounded. He at last succeeds in bringing the girl to the 'phone, and when assured of her safety a sigh of relief escapes him, and yet another, when she tells him the flowers were a birthday gift from her father.
