She does so, but takes out a checking account. Cleo goes to the city to visit some girlfriends. She has never spent over 50 cents at one time in her life. However, when she sees her girlfriends with plenty of money to spend she draws upon her account and "squanders" some of her money for two-dollar gloves. Herb Chillson, a wealthy mill owner, is the leading bachelor of the town. Milt Bronson would like to have his daughter marry Chillson, but the bachelor believes that the girl is close-fisted like her father. After spending her first two dollars Cleo discovers that she loves to spend money. She buys herself a solitaire ring and other feminine adornments. When her mother discovers the ring Cleo, in terror, says that she is engaged to Herb Chillson. Milt Bronson is so delighted that he writes to Herb Chillson, who is out of town. To make matters worse, Cleo receives a notice from the bank stating that she has overdrawn her account, and to make it complete for Cleo her father tells everyone in the village of her engagement. Herb finally arrives from the city, and in desperation Cleo goes to him and begs him to be lenient with her. The wealthy bachelor is astonished at the improvement in Cleo. From a plain, badly dressed, awkward girl she has become a stylish young lady. He realizes that he loves her and informs her that he wishes the engagement to be a real-for-sure one.
