Like her father she sees what she desires and she is determined to have it and in this particular instance it proves to be a man and one who is worthy of her choice. But her father thinks no, while the daughter thinks yes, under her breath at first, but ere the story is finished we are made aware of the fact that that yes meant thousands of dollars to her father, who obtains a splendid financier for a son-in-law. How this is all brought about would be far better to see than to tell, but one might be given the key to the situation when one is told that the lover is inveigled upon father's private yacht. Then something happens to the engine accidentally on purpose and they are at a standstill far from the site of New York town and Wall Street and when the stock market opens next morning the lover fails to be at hand to save himself from financial ruin and no one to send a wireless message to the office. But if love laughs at locksmiths why not at wireless operators as well, for the young lady in question proves to be the little girl at the key; father is caught in his own trap and when the settlement is made it in the young lady's hand that binds the bargain.
