Elise and her roommate Martia, were chums at the young ladies' school. Martia had stripped the walls of college banners and the many other little tokens. She carefully lays in the top of her trunk a picture of her chum Elise. While unpacking it on Martia's arrival home, Pascale, her brother, pays her a visit and sees her prize picture of Elise and immediately proceeds to fall in love with it. Martia, a natural-born match-maker, and pleased at her brother's attraction toward her picture, tells him that Elise's father is in need of a superintendent for his orange grove, and suggests that he take a letter from her recommending him as a capable man for the position. Pascale quickly grasps the opportunity and proceeds to Florida. Elise's father gives him employment. Meeting Elise, Pascale finds her more captivating than her picture. Elise, on her part, is unconsciously attracted by the handsome Cuban, but not being aware that he is her chum's brother, and seeing him as her father's foreman, is inclined to keep him at arm's length. Pascale loses no opportunity to show his love for Elise. Elise realizing she is falling in love with an employee on the plantation, goes to her father and asks him to send her away, suggesting that she be allowed to visit her school chum Martia, in Cuba. On her arrival at Martia's home Elise tells her secret. Martia telegraphs Pascale to come home at once. Elise is here. The young man loses no time but quickly follows and prosecutes his suit to a successful ending.
