Instead, he orders Fred from the place with a threat that he will regret it if he ever returns again. At the office, father attempts a familiarity with his stenographer, and she leaves, angrily. The next day he puts an advertisement in the paper for another one. The paper containing the advertisement falls into Rena's hands, and she calls up Fred at the motion picture studio where he is employed and suggests a plot, whereby they can gain father's consent. Fred disguises himself and applies for the position in father's office. Father "falls hard" for him and engages him on the spot. Later, he invites his new "stenographer" out to dinner at a café in the city. Fred's chum works the old badger game, entering while father is having the time of his life, and accuses him of being a home-breaker and stealing his wife. A few shots and father makes a hasty exit, beating it directly for his home. Rena is there waiting for him and when father arrives with Fred's chum in pursuit, and most of the habitués of the café following, Rena makes him promise his consent to her marriage with Fred before she will intercede with the angry mob and save him.
