Mathew Flurt, her employer, tries to flirt with her on many occasions, and the end comes when Mrs. Flurt, visiting her husband in his office, catches him annoying Mary. Mrs. Flurt bulldozes her husband into discharging Mary, and when Jack takes Mary's part he is discharged as well. They get married and Jack gets a new job. The boys get a letter from him; Flurt learns of it and sends the newlyweds a note telling them he hopes they will like the gift he's sending. The office boy shows the letter to the clerks and they plan a surprise for the newlyweds. Orders are placed for every conceivable kind of merchandise in the newlyweds' name, and soon the street in front of their house is a howling mob of deliverymen and wagons. The newlyweds think Mathew Flurt is responsible because of the letter, and the police take everyone to the station house. Cops are sent for Flurt and when he arrives the men proceed to mess him up. The boys are caught and the truth learned. Some are jailed and others released. The newlyweds go back to their nearly-wrecked home, while the boys sorrowfully look from prison bars and Flurt ruefully surveys his tattered condition. Written by
