Rose Scott is a stenographer in the office of wealthy John Mackey and is wooed by the clerk there, one Merwin. But Mr. Mackey himself takes a fancy to her and she becomes Mrs. John Mackey. Ten years elapse and we find the Mackeys and their little daughter Ruth on a pleasure trip. Ruth makes friends with the hotel switchboard operator and to amuse herself uses the 'phone in her own room to talk to the little lady at the "board." For the first time since the old office days, the Mackeys meet Merwin. Mackey finds his time very much occupied with his business projects. Mrs. Mackey, though, has plenty on her hands, time to renew old friendship with Merwin. With Ruth they go walking through the pretty city, for her husband is too busy with his affairs to do even that. So Merwin "fills in" nicely as an escort and makes himself very agreeable to the mother and daughter. But Merwin's designs are not innocent. He tells the wife that he wants her to desert her husband. Instantly she spurns him, and flees from him. Then some evenings elapse, and putting her daughter to bed, she goes to her husband to find he cannot stay with her even of nights. In a rush of anger, she decides to leave him, and she tells him everything in a note expressing her resentment of his neglect. She tells Merwin on the telephone that she will join him, and the girl at the switchboard happens to hear. Immediately the "hello girl's" mind is made up. She will act in the wife's own best interests, swiftly. She pulls out the plug connecting the clerk's 'phone with that in the wife's room and switches the wife's line onto the 'phone in little Ruth's room. So instead of falling into Merwin's toils she hears the clear, sweet voice of her child. The baby's voice acts as cold water on her anger. She is shocked into reason, and rushes to the table on which lays the note, and tears the missive into bits. In the meantime Merwin tries frantically to get the wife's room on the 'phone again. Finally he does succeed in getting an answer from the brainy "hello girl," who says, "Sorry, but that line is busy." But Merwin sticks to his task and compels the operator to give him the line. Little Miss Operator, however, has won the great game, for all that, for when the wife does talk to him, she says, "I've changed my mind. I'll not go out this evening.
