Steve, who works for a local bank, is strolling through the park on a Saturday and meets pretty young Mary. Wanting to impress her, he tells her that he is an officer in the bank, neglecting to mention that he is actually a security officer--a bank guard. Mary, on her part, tells him that her father is an engineer, but it turns out that he's actually an "engineer" on a steamroller. They are instantly attracted to each other, though, and romance blooms, resulting in their being engaged to be married. Both, however, are worried about what will happen when they find out that each was fibbing to the other--which happens a lot sooner than they counted on.
