Comedy.

Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? The stenographer was entirely too pretty for the equilibrium of the office force, and both clerks and the boss found themselves off balance. The boss had the advantage of authority in the office, but unluckily he didn’t have the same at home, and when his spouse happened in and interrupted a little conversation he was having with the stenographer, said stenographer went out by express orders of the wife. This didn’t help matters, however, as Gertie came back in boy’s clothes, got her old job back, and also got Wifey stuck on her. The ensuing trouble is best left untold, with the exception of a secret meeting at the café, an intercepted note, and an important disclosure just at the wrong time. The whole affair would have been far better if Wifey had not attempted to take over the office under her management and Gertie had not imagined she could get away with the men’s clothes effect.
