Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Luke has had a hard time. Try as he may, he cannot land a job. But there is one more place in the building where he might get something to do and he goes there. The owner of the place hires him, on the spot, for there’s a reason. He has a big date with Florrie for that afternoon and he has just received a letter from his college chum asking that he meet his young daughter at the station at noon, just in time to spoil his party. He passes the buck to Luke and orders him to get on the job. The sole way Luke has of identifying the child is by means of “W.M.” on her suitcase. He goes to the station, but the only person with such initials on her bag is a “dream.” He reconnoiters around for a bit, but finally braces up and asks if she is the girl. She is, and Luke thinks of the time he can have on the expense money which has been given him. They have soda water, a wild boat ride, and do all the amusements in the vicinity before they get back to the office. Meanwhile, the employer has been spending money hand over fist and ends up by “falling” for an expensive hat which Florrie admires. Then he returns to his office and makes out his expense account and finds, when Luke returns, that the latter’s account is much smaller and that he had had the better looking lady.
