Determined more than ever to make good as a literary man, Benjamin goes to the lady of his heart, Violet Thompson, and assures her that he will make good in spite of his uncle's adverse tactics. And soon Benjamin hasn't sold any stories or plays and the rent and other things are becoming past due. Artie Fishal, to collect back rent, calls on Benjamin and is turned down. He then appeals to the uncle, who agrees to pay Fishal $1,000 if he can rid his nephew of the writing bug. Fishal agrees to try it. Malcom Graham announces to Benjamin that he is in love with Violet. Benjamin assures him it is mutual. Considerable excitement is stirred up when Graham borrows a dress suit and hat from Benjamin, that person having purloined them from Fishal. Benjamin and Graham are both invited to the birthday affair given by Violet. It is here that Benjamin tells his uncle he has sold a play (unknown to him) through Violet by Graham. Everything ends well; uncle is happy and Violet accepts Benjamin. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
