Two young ladies appear, the "irresistible" man bows to them. They are very indignant and pass on, the masher following and annoying them. They finally reach home in no amiable state of mind. Three young men are playing cards as the girls enter. They tell of their experience, and the men plan to make an example of the cheeky individual. The girls wish to avoid any violence and hit upon a plan, which though less forcible, will teach the masher a good lesson. The scheme is thoroughly discussed; all join in laughter over it. One of the girls sits down, writes a note, "Meet me at the corner of Broadway and Sixth Avenue at six to-night. Look for a white straw hat," signed An Admirer. Calls a messenger who is instructed to deliver it to their disturber. At the masher's home he is lounging around in a smoking jacket, smoking a cigarette, when the messenger arrives and hands him the note. He reads it, is overjoyed, looks at his watch, then proceeds to dress with great care. His toilet complete, he proceeds to keep the "date." Arriving at the street corner our friend poses, frequently consulting his watch. In a second story room, directly over the position taken by the "dude," the "boys" are arranging boxes of rubbish, pails of water, etc., with which to surprise the masher. On the corner the "nuisance" is waiting for his admirer. Around the corner the girls are peeping, waiting for the signal from the boys overhead. A white hat is lowered down until the masher sees it, looks upward, and at this moment a perfect avalanche of straw hats, piles of rubbish, old shoes, pails of water, etc., fall upon him. The girls appear on the scene, dance around in great glee at the masher's discomfiture. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
