The photograph is a picture of his friend and two young ladies in bathing suits. On the back of the photograph a note is written telling Bobby of the swell time they are having at the shore. Bobby loses no time in cooking up a scheme to get away for a few days. He has a friend send him a fake telegram to the effect that his mother met with an accident, spraining her ankle while at Atlantic City. Bobby's employer, a sympathetic old gentleman, gives Bobby some money and hurries him off to his mother's side. While Bobby is enjoying himself with the party in Atlantic City, his employer finds the photograph and, after reading the note, decides to go to Atlantic City to find Bobby and fire him. The next morning finds Bobby's boss in Atlantic City. Bobby and his friends are about to leave to go sailing when the girls' chaperon, afraid of sea-sickness, remains on shore. While the party is out sailing a flirtation has taken place between Bobby's boss and the chaperon. He is so taken up with the chaperon that he forgets all about looking for Bob. The party has returned from their yachting trip and are on their way to the hotel in an automobile, when Bob is discovered by his boss, who runs after the automobile. Bob sees the boss and thinks the gig is up. They hunt up the chaperon and make her act as mother with the sprained ankle. Handkerchiefs are tied around the ankle of the chaperon. When Bob introduces the boss to his supposed mother, they are all surprised to see that the boss and the chaperon are friends and have met before. The boss is so pleased to meet the chaperon again that he forgets all about firing Bob. The picture closes with the boss and the chaperon leaving the party for a stroll.
