The film stars Bryant Washburn, Wanda Hawley, Fred Goodwins, Clarence Geldart, Jay Dwiggins, and Bessie Eyton.

[1][2] As described in a film magazine,[3] bookkeeper Arthur McArney (Washburn) attempts to live the life of a man about town on $21 a week.

He has trouble keeping up his end of the contest for Elsa's hand as his taxi and restaurant bills appear staggering to him and his kitten, for whom he traded a ukulele.

He arranges a date with Elsa, but then must break it when he is called upon by Hallet (Geldart), his office manager, to work late at night.
