- At the wedding of Henry and Polly, Henry, with characteristic forgetfulness, discovers at the last moment that he has left the wedding ring behind, but his old friend, Jimmy Teasdale, comes to the rescue and prevails upon his wife to loan hers for the occasion. But when the ring is placed on Polly's finger it is there for keeps, and the efforts of Henry and Jimmy to placate Mrs. Teasdale and at the same time keep Polly in ignorance of her husband's neglect are productive of much merriment.
- Some days after her husband's initiation into a Masonic Lodge, his wife demands to know the secrets of the great fraternal organization. Henry tells her that he is not privileged to reveal these secrets, but Polly insists that he promised never to keep any secrets from her. Finally, he confides to her the secret word of his Lodge. And so he gives away the initiation rites to Polly - his riding of the mythical goat, the solemn initiation with its mystic signs, etc. He swears her to secrecy but she naturally tells her neighbor all about the Masons so that the entire town is laughing at his holy revelations. On his return from the lodge meeting, Henry tells her that he is permitted to remain in the organization on condition that she pretends that the secrets he had revealed to her were all a joke.
- Henry tells a little white lie to Polly, then must tell another to protect the first, and so on, until he has wrapped himself in a web of falsehood too tight to unravel.
- Jimmie thinks women have no business on the golf course. One day, Polly brings her friend Angela to the golf club. Jimmie and Angela instantly fall in love. Jimmie is delighted to discover that Angie has no interest in golf. They get married, and during the honeymoon, Angie tells Jimmie it would be cruel of her to let him go golfing all alone. So she accompanies him, much to Jimmie's dismay. (He has been "bunkered.") Angela tells Polly she has taken up golf because Jimmie loves it, and she wants the marriage to be successful. Angela's hands soon get calloused, and her nose begins to peel. When she realizes what is happening to her, she begs Jimmie to go golfing without her.
- Polly is a stenographer in a law office where she proves an inspiration to Henry Minor, a hard-working lawyer. Henry is a good lawyer, but a poor advertiser for himself and as a consequence Clarke, another man in the office, is credited with many of the results of Henry's efforts. Polly realizes Henry's real worth and urges him to declare his ability. The promotion of Clarke to a partnership in the firm brings Henry to his senses and he resolves to show who really does the work. A big murder case is assigned to Clarke and he seeks Henry's aid, but without the anticipated results. Realizing his predicament, Clarke enlists in the army, leaving the case unhandled. Henry is placed in charge of the matter and some months later when the case comes to trial, he wins an acquittal for an innocent man. Alas, in the hour of Henry's triumph, Clarke returns from France, wounded and gassed, a war hero. Henry fears all is lost but events take a happy turn and surprises come in rapid succession - and before the story ends Polly agrees to become Mrs. Henry Minor.
