- An employee wants a raise to afford marriage, but his boss refuses to give to him the extra pay. So, with the help of a pretty young maid, he concocts a scam to force his boss' hand.
- Young clerk Ned Elliott is engaged to be married. His salary is not large enough to support a wife and he asks his employer for a "raise," which is refused. The same thing occurs several times, and with each refusal Ned postpones his marriage. In despair he concocts a scheme to make his employer give him the coveted "raise." He takes a bright young maid who works at his boarding house into his confidence. Knowing that Mr. Hadley, his employer, is a flirt and Mrs. Hadley is extremely jealous, Ned plans to have Mary, the maid, come to Hadley's office and declare herself his (Hadley's) wife. Ned arranges for Mrs. Hadley arrives on the scene at the same time. A series of most laughable incidents follow, ending with Ned getting his "raise." But the raise is such that--well, it would spoil the splendid finish of the story to tell it. Suffice to say that a real comedy surprise is furnished the auditor and Ned and his co-conspirator Mary are rewarded in a manner that justifies the undertaking of trying to "raise" Ned's salary.—Moving Picture World synopsis
