- A country girl runs away to town, and achieves success as an actress. A struggling actor desiring a part in her company visits her home town, absorbs local color, and on his return brings a faded rose from the girl's mother, and poses as one of her country neighbors with such success that the girl cancels all engagements and returns home. Then the actor decides to follow her.
- A vaudeville act which falls flat after starting off with great promise furnishes the theme for this two-reel O. Henry story. No one is able to ascertain the cause, and after the cast creates so much disturbance in a restaurant that they are arrested and taken before the police sergeant do his judicious questions enable the police matron to fathom the mystery; that is, that the situation where the star always breaks down and weeps is because the leading man is in love with her and trying to show it in his singing.
- Henry Minor, after marriage, makes a desperate effort to play the role of the model husband who stays at home every evening. Finally the fireside ties begin to weary Henry, and he becomes exceedingly uneasy. One day, invited by his old pals to come back and be one of them at the club, he calls up Polly and tells her that he will be detained downtown on business. Meanwhile, Polly is flashed on the screen in the act of eulogizing Henry and his virtues. The amusing part of the situation reveals the fact that Henry, finding himself unutterably miserable in his old haunts, and wondering why Polly's voice over the phone sounded so cheerful when he told her that he would not be home early, makes his escape. He arrives home in a repentant mood, which gives the story a very amusing ending.
