Young playboy Robert Pitt makes a bet with friends at a restaurant that he will obtain within 24 hours a photograph of a girl across the room, whom he has never met, autographed fondly to him. His unsuccessful attempts to steal the photograph from her and win the bet make up the rest of the plot. Finally, he succeeds in getting the photograph and winning the girl, but he gets involved in an attempted jewel theft, which he prevents but for which he is blamed.
