- Gertrude Selby, as the little millionairess, rolls into the picture in her big automobile with her arms full of roses. Henry "Pathe" Lehrman and Billie Ritchie both seek the acquaintance of the little millionairess. Henry fails to meet with her approval, but Billie responds to an alluring beckoning from the big automobile. Henry consoles himself with a beautiful pictured lady until the little millionairess again turns up in his neighborhood, whereupon he makes another effort to gain the lady's favor. Mischievous Gertrude ducks the persistent Henry with a hose. His screams bring papa to the rescue and she is hurried off to the hotel. Billie, looking in vain for the lady of the alluring smile, finds Henry's picture and takes possession. Henry claims his own, however, but finally Billy persuades him to sell it and he departs to quench his growing thirst. Henry, with money in his pocket, but with wet clothes, decides he had better be on his way. Luck favors him. He finds Billie in a state that brings forth no protest when he takes back his pictured lady. Billie makes the hotel and starts things going at a pace hard to beat, until Henry arrives. Quiet finally settles over the hotel with Billie in his room with his bottle, Gertrude in her room with her book, and Henry in his room with his pictured lady. The wind plays Henry a low trick, when it blows his pictured lady away. He follows out the window, down the fire escape, in a window and discovers himself in the room of the millionairess. With Henry in pursuit she runs to her father, but finds herself in Billie's room. He is asleep and she has time to crawl under the bed before Henry arrives. Finding Billie asleep and no signs of the girl, Henry continues his hunt. All might have been well if a mouse hadn't driven the millionairess from under the bed, whereupon Billie promptly declares his love and joins in the chase. Driven into the hall the lady starts a riot from one end of the hotel to the other that leaves grave doubts as to whether there is anything left of the clerk, father and guests. Driven to desperation, a harassed guest lays Henry and Billie out with a well-aimed blow for each of them.—Moving Picture World synopsis
