Inhalt/Synopsis:

    Clifford Coleman decides that women, because of their excessive concern with perfume and hosiery, are an impediment to business and discharges all his female help. Ruth Barton, the manager's secretary, warns him that once she has left, she will exact a price for any information he needs from her. Later, a buyer closes a deal, adding that he will get his usual »rake-off«, and Coleman is forced to consult Ruth; she forces him to pay $500 to learn that the »rake-off« is a 5-lb. box of candy. Coleman concedes her outwitting him but is unconvinced of her sales abilities until she intercepts a large order and offers it to a rival concern. Ruth agrees to return to work on condition that all the other girls are reinstated, but Coleman refuses - that is, until she tells a female buyer that he discriminates against women. Coleman surrenders and soon discovers that he loves Ruth.
