Although a young bank clerk wants to marry her, Nell Fanshawe decides that soda clerk John Stanley is the one for her. Because John does not have enough money to marry, however, Nell encourages him to go to New York, where he becomes a successful antique salesman for Jellaby and Co. Steve Ratling, a vindictive discharged salesman, convinces John to gamble the three hundred dollars which John took in on a large sale, because he has not received a deserved raise.
