Henry and Sam are rivals for the hand of Bessie. The former invites her to go with him to a dance only to find that already she has promised to accompany Sam to the party. On the evening of the affair, Henry borrows some dancing shoes. They turn out to be too small, but as the stores are closed, he must either wear them or relinquish Bessie entirely. At the party he conceals his discomfort, and plucks up courage to ask Bessie to dance. But his shoes cause him such unspeakable agony that he is forced to retire. He takes himself out in the back yard to nurse his feet-and his troubles. Meanwhile, Sam steps on his partners foot. She escapes, indignant and tearful, to the back yard, where she finds Henry, similarly afflicted. They console one another, and Henry pops the question. When Sam appears upon the scene, he finds he has lost out with Bessie forever. -The Moving Picture World, October 3, 1914
