He persuades Marie, his sweetheart, to answer a "Want Ad." The woman presents herself at the insurance office of Donald Douglass, secures the position, dresses well and her blue eyes do the rest. The office staff, from John Cameron, the manager, to Jimmie Watkins, the boy, dislike Marie especially for the reason that the newcomer is working to the disadvantage of Josie Olmstead, the favorite stenographer, and not only crowding her out of a job, but her prospect of winning the boss, to whom she has become attached. The inevitable happens, despite her four years' faithful service. Douglass resolves to part with her and make Marie the confidential. He consequently writes two letters, the one dismissing Josie and the other doubling Marie's salary. This letter is dated St. Valentine's Day, with a remark that he, the boss, "hoped she would understand." He is then called away to New Orleans, and handing the envelopes, still open, to Jimmie, instructs him to deliver them. Jimmie does a very reprehensible thing. In his love for Josie he transposes the two letters. Marie getting the supposed discharge, informs her crook lover and they agree to rob the safe, and get even. Josie, feeling secure in her position, is working late one night when "the job is on." She hears the crooks at work and 'phones for the police. Spike, seeing that they are discovered, floors Josie with his club. The crooks are arrested and Josie sent home. Douglass, still in New Orleans, reads of the robbery and quickly returns. Jimmie confesses his part in transposing the two letters. The boss forgives him and restores the little office favorite, Josie, to confidence, and all are now waiting for the minister.
