- Billy's weekly salary amounts to $9.00 per week, but his tastes are those of a millionaire. He has never met his boss personally, but the boss has taken an interest in Billy from the good work he has done and decides to pay the young man a visit. Accordingly, Billy receives a letter telling him of his boss's intention. The millionaire accidentally drops the letter of introduction to Billy, which he had taken along, and it is picked up by a tramp who, after reading it, decides to impersonate the boss. He calls on Billy, presents the letter and Billy immediately treats him with his best cigars, drinks and makes his visitor perfectly at home. Then he suggests going out to a restaurant to dine, and after phoning his sweetheart to meet him at the restaurant where he is going to have dinner with his boss, he and his guest depart. Arriving at the restaurant, the tramp, delighted at his good fortune, proceeds to order up the best in the place. To Billy's dismay, he discovers that he hasn't enough to pay the bill, and just then the real boss, who has come in, seeing Billy's predicament, slips a $100 bill into his hand. The tramp, noticing this, immediately accuses Billy of having stolen the money from him and calls the police. The party is taken to the police court, where the millionaire discovers that Billy is the young chap he has been looking for, while Billy makes the startling discovery that the boss is none other than Betty's father. After seeing that the tramp gets all that is coming to him, they all leave the courtroom. Shortly after Billy gets up courage to ask his boss for Betty's hand, which is granted together with a substantial check as a wedding gift.—Moving Picture World synopsis
