Pat has a friend who is a "card sharp" and in a place of refreshment they happen to meet and Pat catches him cheating. Pat's dislike for his friend is very apparent and while he is walking on the street with his new found sweetheart, Mike presents himself and forces an introduction, much to Pat's disgust. Then a salesman comes into Pat's office offering for sale a "projecto-optican," an instrument that can be attached to the 'phone and enable you to see the person with whom you are conversing. Pat shows that he has not much faith in it, but when the salesman asks if he has a lady love he beams with delight and confesses. The salesman attaches the instrument for demonstration. Pat calls up his sweetheart and the demonstration proves successful, for there Pat discovers his rival. In deep regret he buys the invention that he may watch further developments. However, it is to his ultimate advantage, as he finds out that his fair one is false in more ways than one, and by a "card sharp" trick of Mike's, Pat finds an easy way to bow gracefully out.
