Plot: During commencement week at college, Cutey Cartwright finds time hanging heavily on his hands, especially when the fellows refuse to introduce him to their sisters, complaining he is too much of a cut-up and heartbreaker. Cutey gets an idea and buys a photograph of a beautiful actress, inscribing on it, "To Cutey from his loving sister," he leaves it in a conspicuous place in his room. When his friend, Jack, drops in he at once spies the photo, and as the news spreads, Cutey finds himself the most popular young man in town. All the boys now introduce him to their sisters, anxious to make the acquaintance of Cutey's beautiful "sister." Cutey and Alice, Jack's sister, fall deeply in love, while Jack starts complications by purchasing beautiful flowers and dollar-a-pound boxes of candy for Cutey's sister. Cutey consents to act as "go-between" and greatly enjoys the situation. All might have gone well, but unfortunately, the actress, whose photograph Cutey has, arrives in town with her husband. Jack meets her on the street and speaks to her. After some very indignant queries on her part and awkward explanations on his, she has him arrested as a masher. He phones Cutey for bail, and the latter hurries over to the actress's apartment at once, not knowing Alice and her brother have taken the room next door. Cutey explains to the actress and begs her not to expose his deception. While they are talking, she hears her husband coming, and Cutey climbs through the transom into the next room. He sees Alice staring speechlessly at him on the other side, but chooses the lesser of two evils and drops into Alice's room, leaving his coat-tails in the husband's hands. The latter rushes around to the other room, and Cutey comes near being shot, but Alice comes to his aid, and after explanations all around, he is forgiven and reinstated in favor.
