Dottie Dimple (Miss Emerin Campbell), a Broadway actress finds herself stranded in a rube village two hundred miles away and twenty five dollars is all she needs to get back. She "works" Sam Higginss (Mr. Aubrey Yates) for the money but becomes conscience-striken.
An attempt is made to place a touch of sentiment into the story when Mr. Yates, sitting before the fireplace, tells the audience all about his lonely life. It is this monolog that awakens the conscience of the actress.
It is an extremely light sketch, so light, indeed, that it becomes transparent. The single thing keeping it from floating away into nothingness is the presence of an occasional bright exchange of repartee.
