Jimmie has a good job in an office where there is a bevy of pretty girls, but being at that age where his appreciation of the fair sex has not developed, he considers them inferior to him. So it is his pleasure to make all the fun he can for himself at their expense. This time he reckons without his host. There is plenty for Jimmie to do, errands to be run and dust to be kept off the furniture in the office. Lunch time comes around; the girls all chip in and get Jimmie to buy their lunch, but not a minute does he do it without "getting his" in the shape of a generous tip. Soon in he comes with an armful, ginger ale and bananas for himself, ice cream, pickles, crackers and what not for the girls. It is a royal feast and they enjoy it. There is one pretty girl in the office who powders her face too often to suit Jimmie and he consequently chides her about it. She daubs his face with the puff. This is too much for his boyish pride and he decides to get even. He does so, and so do they. It won't spoil your fun to say that Jimmie goes out to buy cigars for his boss and in passing a paint store sees a sign advertising the sale of lampblack. Now you'll say, "I know, the powder box." That, however, isn't all. When you see it you'll have one good, hearty laugh at what the girls did to Jimmie.
