Plot

Mr Waters learns his shipping clerk, Jack, is a champion golfer, and pays him to spend two weeks at an exclusive club, to coach him for a forthcoming competition. Jack’s friend Benny goes along as his valet and caddy.

Jack falls in love with Marilyn, daughter of a wealthy businessman. Rumours spread that he is the head of a major shipping company, and Waters advises Jack not to mislead Marilyn.

Jack and Marilyn elope, but on their wedding night he confesses and leaves.
