One day he meets a young woman by chance on the street, and is so much attracted by her good looks that he follows her to her home, where she enters and slams the door in his impertinent face. This does not discourage him, however, for he goes in and sends up his card. The lady consents to see the stranger, but when she recognizes in him the fellow who has been annoying her, she immediately throws him out of the house. Undaunted by this treatment, he tries another scheme, and gets on go terms with the maid, and when madam sends for the hairdresser the girl sends word to the love-smitten young man, who disguises himself as a coiffeur and once more enters the apartment of his adored one, who is seated passively in an easy chair, awaiting her hair treatment. The fellow fumbles around in an awkward manner and tries his best to comb her tresses, but gets so nervous that he tortures the woman, who resents such treatment. When she looks up she is horrified upon recognizing her unwelcome admirer, and proceeds to give him a beating and kick him out. Next he meets a fellow entering the apartment to do some cleaning, and gives him some money to change clothes with him, which he does. We see our hero once more under the same roof with his enchantress, but this time her husband is a barrier, and the fellow does everything to rid the place of the old fellow. He tortures him by incessantly pounding the stepladder down on his toot, till the head of the house seeks refuge in the street, When the coast is clear the ardent wooer again tries to make love to the woman, but he finds her as steadfast as ever, and this time she throws him bodily out of the window, where he falls on her unfortunate husband, who is seated underneath. Completely out of patience with the state of affairs, she discharges the maid for allowing the man to annoy her so much, and as the girl is leaving she meets the masher at the door, and gives him a case of female wearing apparel, which he dons and gets the position as new maid in the house. When he enters upon his duties it is not long before he is recognized, for he makes an attempt to kiss the madam, but is caught by her husband, who gives him such a beating that he is glad to give up his wooing as a failure.
