Mr. Madden, Sr., has an eye for beauty and is quite friendly with his good-looking stenographer. One day, while he is especially friendly, his wife, an austere unbending woman, comes into the office. She takes upon herself to discharge the good-looking stenographer and hires a homely one. She calls up an employment office and next day the choice of his wife puts in an appearance. She can lay no claims to even good looks. Obeying the orders of his wife, Madden, Sr., hires her much against his own wishes. Later on he finds an excuse to dismiss her. Frank then has Grace apply for the position. Madden, Sr., has never met Grace and he is at once taken by her beauty and she is engaged as his private stenographer. He becomes very attentive. Frank is jealous, looks through the keyhole and sees his father's gallantry. He telephones his mother. She comes to the office. Frank and his mother enter just in time to see Mr. Madden, Sr., kissing Grace. His wife looks dumbfounded, Madden, Sr., likewise. Frank steps up to his father and says, "I'll save you." Then turning to his mother and drawing Grace forward, tells her that Grace is his promised wife and that Madden, Sr., was only congratulating her. Father goes to protest but Frank warns him. Mother takes Grace in her arms. Father finally gives consent. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
