- Grace Howe is a cigarette roller in a tobacco factory. She is engaged to Ferdinand Longer. One day they visit a photographer and Grace has half a dozen small portraits taken. At work the next day Grace slips one of the photographs in every fiftieth package with her name and address on the back of the photo. Theodore Long, proprietor of an old-established business receives one of the photos and lays it aside for the moment. An office boy sweeps the photo into a waste basket, but Paul Short, one of Long's employees, finds the photo and writes Grace himself. Long is distracted when he finds the photo gone and upbraids the careless office boy. He gives the boy $5 to purchase fifty packages of cigarettes and in the fiftieth box finds another photograph of Grace with her address. Long then writes her a letter. Short and Long both get identically worded letters from Grace and determine to visit her. Both buy bouquets, and when each discovers that the other is bound on the same errand there are thrilling chases and races by foot, handcar, motorcycle, automobile and on the cowcatcher of an engine. Short gets in to see Grace first, but is thrown bodily out of the window by Grace's sweetheart. He lands astride Long's neck and both roll, fighting viciously, to the bottom of a hill, while Grace and her sweetheart look on in amusement from the window of her home.—Moving Picture World synopsis
