Billy Quill, a bashful bookkeeper, loves Marjorie Keyes, the pretty stenographer. Anatole, the French barber, is also in love with Marjorie, but he is not at all bashful and makes himself a pest by declaring his love for her at every opportunity. Marjorie reciprocates Billy's love, and gives him every opportunity to express his feelings and "pop" the question, but Billy lacks nerve to say the fatal words. One day Billy spurs himself to meet the issue and after obtaining a wedding ring and a license, presents himself before Marjorie with the full intention of taking the leap into matrimony. Marjorie is perfectly willing, but is interrupted by Anatole, which interruption is violently resented by Billy who ejects him with savage delight. Anatole swears revenge. Unknown to each other, Billy and Marjorie visit adjoining bath-houses. Now is Anatole's opportunity to "get even," and he mixes up their garments, and places them in an embarrassing predicament. A series of comical incidents are pictured as a result of this mix-up, concluding with the impromptu marriage of the blushing and confused couple.
