It's hot in the office; there is a rush of business, and Ferdie seeks release. He has drawn a late vacation in the office pool, and he feels that if he does not get out of town sooner he will never live to enjoy the last two weeks of August. He writes his fiancée asking that a wire be sent him summoning him to the bedside of his dying sister. This is done, and Ferdie exultantly exits from the office, wholly undeserving the sympathy which follows him. He is having a corking good time, when a wire comes from the boss that he is stopping off to see Ferdie, and the sick sister, and Ferdie never had a sister, let alone a sick one. His fiancée's brother is elected the sister and comforted with some fine whiskey in a medicine bottle, and the sympathetic employer is glad that he gave Ferdie an unlimited leave of absence when he sees how sick the sister is. But his daughter discovers the sick sister sitting up with one of her father's cigars and the bottle of whiskey. The chum is making great progress with the daughter when her father comes in search of his cigar case, and for a moment it looks as though Ferdie's vacation would last until he procured another place, but the old man is talked over and in the end rather enjoys the joke.
