A young girl passing along finds the garters, and on going to a dance with her beau, loses one of them on the ball room floor. An old gentleman finds it and asks a very dignified old maid if she lost it. She immediately goes for him for daring to ask her such an insolent question. The old man then puts the garters in his pocket and leaves for home with his wife. The final scene is then enacted when the wife finds the garters in her husband’s pocket.
