[1] As described in a film magazine,[2] Bab (Clark) is infatuated with Adrian (Steele), an actor, and cuts his picture out of a newspaper and worships it.

A few days later Bab learns that the play with her idol is in town, so she borrows money to see a performance with her hero.

However, Page Beresford (Chadwick), who is after Bab's sister Leila's (Greene) hand (and fortune), arrives at the factory to place an order for shells and, mistaken for Adrian, gets thrown out.

When the real Adrian applies for work, he is hired and not allowed to leave, and misses the matinee performance.

Bab succumbs to the measles and the revelation that Adrian is married completely shatters her thoughts of romance for the time being.
