At the beginning of the picture we see them negotiating for and achieving an introduction to him. After college days are over they become assistant shipping clerks in a big establishment. On one of the pillars of their workroom is pinned a big newspaper picture of their hero in full football regalia. Whenever they pass it they stand in salute before it. One day a great event happens: at a cheap table d'hote dinner their hero makes his appearance and with much trepidation they finally decide to go over and claim acquaintanceship with him. Instead of a haughty repulse which they might have expected, he invites them to sit down at his little table and have their dinner together. It is a great honor and a great event for the boys. And then we become cognizant of the fact that, as a young lawyer, the football hero is not a success. Things go from bad to worse with him until he is entirely out of money and is very glad when a chance meeting throws him again in the ways of the boys and they invite him to their room to help partake of a box of good things from home. Of course, the boys see him only as their ideal hero and know nothing of the struggle against poverty which he is making. But one day, when he is down to the last notch, he answers an ad for a porter and the next thing he knows is face to face with his worshipers in the very place where they are working. The situation is both comic and dramatic, but, like the true blue that he is, he goes to work under his two small admirers. Of course, he soon rises to a better position and is able to marry the girl who has waited for him all this time. But through it all the two young adorers are true to their ideal and rejoice at his success. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
