A Pair of Sixes

A unique method was agreed upon by T. Boggs Johns and George Nettleton, proprietors of the Digestive Pile Manufacturing Company, to put a stop to their quarreling. The scheme was to play a game of poker, the loser to act as servant to the winner for a year. If either member of the agreement reveals the circumstances of the pact he shall pay a fine of $5,000. Boggs loses, and he has to serve as butler in the Nettleton home. Florence Cole, his sweetheart, comes to the Nettletons for dinner, and is surprised to see Boggs acting as butler, but cannot learn what has brought about the change in his social status. Thomas J. Vanderholt, an attorney, in love with Florence, lets her in on the pact and also tells her that he drew up the plans. She denounces him, and, together with Boggs, plans revenge on Nettleton. Boggs arranges an intimate tableau with the wife of Nettleton. This so angers Nettleton that he schemes to make Boggs the loser financially, but Florence declares that the pact is not legal, having been based upon a game of poker.
