The two boys are always trying to make a hit with the daughter, and great jealousy exists between them. Miss Morgan is about to give a musicale to Prof. Treble and sends invitations to her father's two clerks. The office boy in distributing the mail forgets to give Harry his invitation, so when Jack gets his, he is elated, and twits Harry about it. Jack goes to lunch and in honor of his getting the invitation buys a box of flowers for the evening. In the meantime, the office boy gives Harry his invitation and he goes out to buy a basket of fruit to give his boss's daughter. Jack returns with the flowers and is called to the boss's office when Harry is seized with the idea to substitute some vegetables in place of flowers, so he buys some from a peddler and makes the change. Jack comes back and a fellow clerk tells him, and shows him the basket of fruit that Harry has bought. Jack gets vegetables and fills Harry's fruit basket. The night of the reception is at hand, and both boys go to it thinking of the fun that each is going to have at the other's expense. Jack presents his flowers to Miss Morgan, and when she sees the vegetables she almost faints. Harry laughs and pushes Jack back and gives his basket of fruit to Miss Morgan, which turns out to be vegetables. Miss Morgan is insulted and goes to tell her parents who are in the next room listening to the professor playing. The boys are now raving and start to throw vegetables at each other. The vegetables are thrown through an arch and hit the folks at the musicale. The butler throws both out after they have broken up the reception. The next morning the boys arrive at the office and the boss fires them. Harry picks up a paper and starts to laugh, and points to an item in the paper which announces that Miss Morgan is engaged to the professor. They look at each other in disgust as the girl and her fiancé drive past. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
