Cutey is some little latherslinger. He shaves and hair-cuts in Gorgem's barbershop for a pittance, and falls in love with Polly. Cutey cannot make love and shave at the same time, so he neglects the latter, with disastrous results to the customers. He finally gets fired, and not having money enough to elope with Polly, he is in sore straits until he lands a job as an agent for safety razors. He is a popular little fellow, and he makes such a hit selling razors that the men all stay away from the barbershop and shave at home. This puts Gorgem out of business, and rendered desperate, he advertises for a pretty lady barber to attract trade. Cutey dolls up as a sweet thing and gets the job. Then he certainly does start things. AH the men in town go wild over his beauty, and he becomes a regular heart-breaker. Gorgem doesn't care, for he is getting the money, but the wives of the men patrons do, and they hold an indignation meeting. It is decided to run Cutey out of town. A great rumpus follows and after an exciting chase, Cutey's makeup comes off and old Gorgem cannot say a word when Cutey walks off with Polly, past the still-dazed men and women.
