Seymour receives a letter from his long-lost sweetheart and departs for Atlantic City to see her on the same day that Fred Bond, sales manager of the company, John Wright, cashier, and Wright’s daughter, Teddy, conspire to take $10,000 allotted by White for advertising purposes and manufacture twentieth century lingerie which they show at the fashion review in Atlantic City.
In the meantime the real Mr. Wright and his daughter enter their new designs in the fashion show and take it by storm, assuring a wave of prosperity for the White Corset Company.
Seeing her first love looking like a tramp, she breaks her agreement before witnesses, to Seymour’s great joy, for he is now able to straighten out the whole mess and marry the lady detective.
