His time is almost spent entirely at the club, gambling or in entertaining chorus girls. Eventually, he falls in love with a notorious actress, Camille Yvonne, who leads him a merry chase. The father, hearing of his son's infatuation, warns the boy, but he takes no heed of his father's words, but continues his dissipations and attentions to the actress. Finally, the father decides he shall teach Chester a lesson. He seeks out Camille, and without concealing his identity, gets acquainted with her and soon pays her ardent attentions, showering her with presents and pretending to be her most devoted admirer. Camille is soon entirely taken up with her new "find" and forgets Chester. The boy, finding that Camille is no longer interested in him, becomes desperate and determines to end his life, but is stopped in time by his chum. The father plays the game well and arranges that his son should appear in a private dining room at a certain time that evening. The son enters the room just as his father and Camille are in the middle of a love scene, and is terribly shocked at the sight. The father then explains that he did this only for his own good and Chester, who is now thoroughly disgusted and cured of bis love with the actress, leaves the place accompanied by his father, and returns home, where all is explained and everything forgiven.
