- Pamela Gordon was once jilted by a man whom she loved. So she and her two friends Violet and Kate form a man-hater's club, and place a sign above their door which reads "No man shall cross this threshold." Edgar Holt, a young attorney, is being framed by a woman, and her irate husband pursues him. Holt enters the girls' room seeking an escape, where he meets Pamela. She makes him leave by way of an ironing board stretched across to a window along a narrow courtyard. Later, Holt encounters Pamela at a party, and rescues her from the unwanted attentions of her former lover. Holt tells his partner Sprague to hire Pamela as a confidential secretary. Violet falls in love with Loot, the head clerk. Sprague attempts to court Pamela, but she quits, taking Violet with her. Kate has secretly married a theatrical manager. While she and Pamela are out together, Loot calls with back pay for Pamela and Violet. When he finds Violet alone, he proposes and she accepts. Pamela and Kate return just as Loot and Violet are embracing. Violet announces her engagement, and Kate announces her marriage. Meanwhile, Holt has rented the room across the courtyard from Pamela's room, with the intention of courting her every chance he gets. He signals for Loot and Violet to leave the room, then knocks on Pamela's door. When she refuses to let him in, he makes his way in via the shutter connecting the windows of the two rooms. He tells Pamela he will get in without crossing the threshold prohibited by the sign the girls put up. When he is almost at her window, his foot slips and he nearly falls. Pamela reaches out and grabs him by the neck, and drags him into her room. He puts his arms around her and she confesses that she loves him.
