Thinking to push their pay higher, Sally bids her last five dollars, and they choose to work for her rather than for the old lady also bidding. Bob balks at Sally's first order: to drive her home to London, Ohio, but he has already spent her money on food. About 300 miles later, Bob is so irritable that he tells Sally to find her way home on her own "initiative." Having run out of gas, he and Arthur camp by the side of the road, but soon after Sally comes rushing up in a car chased by the police. She explains she took off with the car after its owner was fresh with her. Bob helps her out of the situation, and the next day, the men push the car to Ohio, and into a ditch. A kind farmer pulls their car out, and Sally and Bob try to do chores around the farm, but botch each job. Even so, the farmer and his wife give them dinner. Meanwhile, Bob and Sally fight off growing feelings of affection for each other. The next night, the trio takes shelter from the rain in an empty dog kennel where, although Bob dubs Sally "Jinxy" for all the trouble she keeps getting them into, they finally kiss. Bob gets flustered, however, and tells her that he does not need a liability like her around. Angry, Sally takes their car and returns to her wealthy parents and her dullard fiance, Freddie Miller, who are thrilled to see her. Bob and Arthur follow her home to reclaim their car, and Sally's father Charles, realizing that Sally is in love with Bob, offers both men work. Arthur accepts, but Bob refuses to let a woman get him work and leaves in a huff. On his way down the road, he meets some telephone workers and is hired by them. To force Bob into action, the van Ranseleers announce Sally's immediate marriage to Freddie. Bob hears about the marriage while working on a phone line and immediately goes to the van Ranseleers' estate, but he bickers with Sally and she begins the ceremony. Unable to accept losing her, Bob cuts the wires to the lights and elopes with Sally. See less
