Lucille Montgomery, a scrawny old maid but an expert worker, replies, and is engaged. Her employers and Cutey, their clerk, admire her work, but they question whether it repays them for having to continually look at her awful face. One morning she fails to appear, and sends her niece, Lillian, with a note, explaining that the girl will make a capable substitute. As the niece is an absolute and radiant beauty, as well as being a wonderful stenographer, joy reigns supreme in the office, and immediately Mr. Brown invites her out to lunch. Robinson, his partner, proclaims his sincere admiration, and showers attentions upon the girl. Cutey, the clerk, also becomes very busy in the adoration line, causing considerable jealousy. Secretly all three men hope that something will happen to prevent Lucille from ever returning to the office. The fascinating stenographer does not reciprocate any of the love-making, a fact which puzzles the three greatly. Some time later, a weazen, sawed-off, funny-looking specimen of manhood enters and asks for the new stenographer. When she appears, the freakish-looking individual opens his arms, the beautiful typewriting queen madly rushes into them, and then she introduces the little fellow to the three business men as her husband. They faint dead away. After their recovery, Lucille, of the funny-face, enters and endeavors to soothe the broken hearts of the disappointed lovers. Her face restores them to normal mentality, and after the departure of Lillian and her husband, the three men feel even Lucille's face is a great blessing in disguise as they fully realize they will be immune from her wiles.
