Jimmy Rogers is among the guests at a house party. The first evening at the dinner table he notices that Sara Sanderson seems to shrink away from the steady gaze of Ralph Morrison. Later Jimmy questions her and is told that Ralph holds some indiscreet letters which she had written to him the previous summer, and is threatening to show them to her fiancé. The ever-chivalrous Jimmy promises to get them. He takes his friend Livingstone into his confidence and that night they gain entrance to Morrison's room through the window. They are caught and brought into the library, where they are accused of theft. Jimmy managed to get the letters before being discovered, and carefully slips them to Sara. He then confesses to shield her. Suddenly they all burst into hearty laughter, and Jimmy is told that it was all a joke put up on him by Livingstone.
