His ambitions along this line keep the office force in an uproar. Billy decides he needs a raise. But when he tackles the boss on the proposition he finds that the latter has different ideas. A hot argument ensues in which Billy decidedly gets the worst of it. Filled with resentment, Billy determines to force "the old codger to come through." He sees his opportunity when the boss's wife drops into the office to rest herself after a wearisome shopping trip. The scheming youngster calls all his hypnotic powers to his aid, practicing on the steno. This young lady succumbs to his influence and does his bidding. Guided by Billy, the steno makes love to the boss in the presence of the latter's wife. The girl hints at past escapades with her employer. The wife, outraged, demands explanations. The bewildered boss is up against it. Here, Billy steps in and promises to square matters in return for a raise. Boss is willing to do anything. When Wifie comes out of her trance she finds everything apparently O.K. and imagines she has had a horrid nightmare. The boss is mightily peeved because of Billy's methods, but in admiration of the kid's nerve, comes through with a raise. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
