Sweedie, the laundress, who is desperately in love with the tailor, hears of the dinner engagement and writes a letter to him, saying that she is going to drown herself in the dye vat. After rigging up a dummy resembling herself, she sticks it head first into the vat. She then leaves, but returns shortly after in a man's attire, telling the tailor she is Sweedie's brother. He weeps and wails, declaring that if Sweedie were only alive he would marry her in a minute. Sweedie then pulls off her disguise and the tailor falls in a dead faint.
