This starts an argument. Ethel saying it can't be done. Billie says that not only can it be done, but that she can do it and is willing to bet that she can. Ethel takes her on and Billie looks around for her opportunity. She dresses as a boy and gets a job as bell boy in a large hotel. After some complications in the locker room, Billie gets by with her job, while Ethel is on her trail. But with the entrance of Nolan, a traveling salesman, Billie's fate is foreshadowed when he sees a girl's ring on her finger and is set to wondering. Her concealed sex gets her into some predicaments, but she always escapes with her secret. However, Nolan knows Ethel and brings her to the hotel to dinner. Billie, bringing Nolan a telegram, is recognized by Ethel, but she has to keep still. Nolan has become much attached to the bright little "Bellhop" and decides to take "him" to a show. He gets Billie's address from the captain and goes to the house. Ethel is there with Billie. Billie comes down, as herself, and Nolan, not recognizing her, asks for the bellboy. "That is my brother," says Billie, "but he's out tonight." Having the tickets, Nolan asks Billie to go in place of her "brother," and she accepts and goes to dress. Ethel now breaks the faith and tells Nolan. He finds proof when Billie comes down, in the same ring he saw at the hotel, and the whole thing comes out. Billie pays the bet, but Nolan declares that he is the real winner by Billie's little escapade. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
