Frank Gates, a young architect, and his employer's daughter, Byrd Remington, are married and he opens an office of his own. He has a hard time, however, and seeks a partnership with Byrd's father. Remington says Frank must make good first and Frank competes for the new city hall job. Byrd helps him. Later Frank suspects his father-in-law's political influence has defeated him. He goes to Remington's house and sees two councilmen hand Remington a set of plans. Frank is discovered by Remington, and in a fury he tears up the plans. Remington tells Frank the plans were his own, which had been accepted, and Frank is stunned. Then Remington produces a duplicate set. Remington calls up his daughter, tells her, "Frank's an awful quitter, but draws fine plans, so I'll have to take him into partnership."
