"Patsy at last has fallen for a 'Johnny'." Patsy McQuade, the heartless one of the chorus had fallen for Vincent Castleman, one of the idle rich, who, in spite of her doubts, had convinced her that he was on the square. Mickey Donlin, electrician, her old sweetheart, was brokenhearted. Came there a day when, as the girls called for Patsy on their way to the nightly grind, she broke the news: no more show for her; she was to be married that very night, and after congratulating her the girls hurried away to tell Mickey. Later that evening Castleman called for her and told of the dandy apartment he had just furnished for her. But at Patsy's question, "When are we to be married?" Castleman showed his true colors by answering, "Who said anything about marriage?" Then Patsy drove him from the room. Mickey, brooding over it all, is discharged for carelessness, and on coming home hears, between sobs, Patsy's story. Mickey then takes matters into his own hands, and with the help of Molly, secures a marriage license and justice of the peace and forces Castleman to come with them to Patsy's apartments. Arriving there, he tells Patsy that Castleman has changed his mind and wants to marry her and has made all the arrangements. Patsy then declares that she, too, had changed her mind and that she wouldn't marry him on a bet. After the stage manager heard the story he gave Mickey his old job back, but Patsy is busily engaged taking care of a little flat on Avenue A. Written by
