Mildred Clark, the telephone girl at the exchange, is reading a novel and does not answer. Jack gets angry, but Mildred at last hears and connects him. It is the wrong number. Jack gets in touch with central again, but Mildred proves a match for him and talks back. Jack gives up and angrily exits to see his man personally. That evening they meet at a small social gathering at a friend's house. Jack acquiesces to his host's request that he escort Mildred home, and first thing the next morning he sends her a bouquet of flowers. Mildred is delighted and brings them to the exchange with her. Later that day Jack tries to get a number. Central, in the person of Mildred, is so busy admiring his flowers, that she does not hear the call of duty. Jack departs for the manager's office to report that girl. Jack storms in on the manager, who sends for Mildred. Jack is astounded when he discovers it is Mildred. Mildred is excused, but passes by the apologizing Jack with haughty disdain. In the evening Jack goes to her home and awaits her arrival outside the door. She brushes by him, but leaves the door ajar. He enters and after an appropriate punishment, makes his peace and is in the market for a ring. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
