Here the audience is given a lesson in speeding the parting guest. Taylor Holmes is the unwanted visitor who gets the gate. Not only does he have to leave but when he tries to reciprocate evil with good by finding a career, for one of the girls in the family where he had been staying, the girl elopes on the night he had planned to announce his engagement...
