Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Jimmy’s earnest efforts as an auto salesman have met with no success. He chances to meet Mabel Mason and a violent flirtation ensues. Just when Jimmy is “getting somewhere” with Mabel he is fired by the man who employed him. Meanwhile in a nearby country town Farmer Swayne has had a fine crop. He sells it for a goodly sum and he and his wife come to see the city. A group of sleek and slick “con” men size up Jasper and his bank roll. Jasper visits a bath house where he dives and disports himself with mermaids until his wife takes a hand in the fun. As they emerge, three men greet Jasper and Mrs. Swayne. “We are the Welcome Committee,” they explained. The farmer and his wife are delighted. A joy ride is suggested and at a lonely spot along the road, Jasper is relieved of his bankroll. Mabel and Jimmy out for a ride, see a car ahead of them. “Catch it,” says Mabel, “and I will buy this car.” Jimmy makes good and catches up just as the farmers are robbed. Jimmy does battle with the crooks. With Jasper at his side he lays the “con” men low. He fairly makes them like it. Jasper’s money is recovered. It is a banner day for Jimmy, for both Mabel and Jasper buy cars, and Jimmy is reinstated as the star of the salesman crew. Jimmy and Mabel blushingly admit another of Jimmy’s conquests.
