"Pa is rich and Ma don't care!" Neither does Barry Wall, their son, who is indulged in all sorts of extravagances. He is a desirable catch for almost any girl, but he has one ideal: Gladys Cooper, the daughter of the Manager of the Excelsior Laundry. He has never had an introduction to her and finds getting one difficult. He dreams of her night and day. He sends his soiled linen to Cooper's laundry and forgets to remove his diamond stud from one of his shirts. When he misses it, he goes to the laundry and Mr. Cooper restores to him his lost gem. Barry is delighted, but not half so much as when he sees the ideal of his dreams enter. Pa Cooper introduces Barry to Gladys, and the girl is as smitten as lovesick Barry. The next Sunday, Barry calls on Gladys and presents her with a ring with a setting of the very diamond stud which he had lost and found. Their engagement is announced and their cup of happiness is full.
