Ira, who is employed at the oil station, falls in love with Flossie, wife of Jack, as they drive by. Ira later announces to his father that he is going to the city, and does. Mary, his ex-fiancée, learns he has gone to the city and consoles the father of Ira by announcing that she, too, is going to bring Ira home. In the city Ira meets Hank, a property man in a theater, who invites him to come with him behind the scenes. (Only 2 minutes survive. Held on 35mm in the Library of Congress).
