A trip abroad is arranged, and Helen arranges to meet Richard and have him drive her to the station. Richard is downcast, saying that the 10 minutes spent on this trip is too short to arrange a lifetime affair. His aunt gives him his mother's wedding ring as a talisman. En route to the train, an unprecedented traffic blockade occurs, but Helen misses the train and Richard wins her hand. Auntie claims that the ring is responsible; father only smiles, but it develops that he has paid one of his men to bribe streetcar motormen, truckmen, and taxicab drivers to bring about the traffic tie-up.
