Ruth, a young manicurist, is desperately in love with Jimmie White, a mechanic. Ruth's friends make fun of her beau, as he is uneducated both in the matter of clothes and diplomacy. Jimmie comes into some money through a patent and, Ruth with the idea of getting back at her friends, proceeds to make Jimmie over. She even selects the clothes he is to wear, and gets him "all dolled up." Her principal tormentor, Minnie, the beautiful hairdresser, is surprised and captivated at Jimmie's appearance, and determines to win him. She eventually does, but only temporarily. Ruth shows White the error of his ways and he begs forgiveness. She takes him back and all ends happily.
