On the Boulevard his poor little car breaks down and Dimples, in her own big car, comes to his rescue. Her brother Bing asks in a fresh tone if "he can't put it in our car and take it to some poor family," but Dimples reproves him and tows Van to the favorite stopping place of the "Flivver," a repair shop. There Van meets her father and receives an invitation to dinner. Van and Dimples fall in love, his visits become regular and Van asks Mr. White for his daughter's hand in marriage. Her father will not hear of it, explaining that no man could make a living for his daughter selling "Flivver" cars. Dimples spiritedly announces that she can sell "Flivvers." Her lover is rather skeptical, but she meets success from the start. After interesting a couple of wealthy old gentlemen in the car, and a demonstration ride, before she gets through talking. Dimples has sold a car to everyone in their families. Despite Van's prospering business, Mr. White still proves obdurate, so one day, while the big car belonging to Mr. White and the little "Flivver" are standing side-by-side. Van steals Dimples and is off at full speed. Mr. White, sputtering angrily, with difficulty turns his big car and follows in hot pursuit. Of course it would have been a short race, but with the aid of Bing and a stroke of luck at a railroad crossing, Van and Dimples escape. At a fork in the road Van whispers to his companion that the minister lives on the road to the right. She says, "Yes," so they turn in that direction.
