A number of typewriters are at work when the head of the firm walks through and into his private office. Seating himself he opens the morning paper and the following paragraph catches his eye: "Wm. Strand, Jr., who completed his law course at Yale last year has been admitted to the bar." A few moments later the other member of the firm, Mr. Clayton, enters and thrusts a paper into Mr. Strand's hand pointing out the following paragraph: "Among the young men admitted to the bar yesterday was James Clayton, Jr., son of a well-known lawyer of this city." While both proud fathers are discussing the two young men enter. After the congratulations are over they seat themselves before the older men and suggest to them they be taken into the firm as junior members. Both fathers at once reject the idea declaring that they should shift for themselves a while and prove their ability to make good. After the boys argue the matter they finally go out. As they close the door an idea strikes young Clayton, why not they, too, open an office, Strand & Clayton on the same floor. The next morning we find the boys installed in their new place of business. Client after client visit them, one continuous stream, while further down the hall the offices of Strand & Clayton Sr., are forsaken. At the noon hour as they leave together for lunch they pass up the hall and the sign on the new office catches their eye: "Strand & Clayton, Lawyers." They enter, inside everything is busy; the girl at the typewriter is working away on documents and the office boy offers them chairs to wait until "the boss can see them." When the client is ushered out they are admitted into the office and find the boys convulsed with laughter at the success of their scheme. At once the older men proceed to demand an explanation, insisting that the sign on the door be changed, but the boys are obstinate and declare that business is too flourishing to warrant any change. After some persuasion, however, the fathers succeed in convincing them to enter the old firm as partners. The last scene shows the painter changing the old sign to Strand, Clayton & Sons. As the two boys have sisters they soon become brothers-in-law. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
