Harry has a date with Gwendoline to meet her at two o'clock in front of a department store. He keeps his appointment, but a sale of gloves keeps Gwendoline from meeting him. While Harry is waiting he is arrested for loitering and thrown into a cell, where he becomes the boon companion to the happy possessor of a dreadful thirst. This latter gentleman makes life miserable for Harry until he is again summoned to the bar and allowed to keep his belated appointment with Gwendoline, who is at the police court to recover a pocketbook which was stolen from her at the department store.
