Her friend Violet visits her and Pearl tells her of her discovery of Chester's perfidy. Violet advises Pearl to flirt with some fellow, and thus bring Chester to his senses.

She takes her new-found beau home and becomes quite friendly with him. Violet again visits Pearl and finds the two together. She immediately starts a fight with Pearl, as the young man visiting her is no other than Violet's steady fellow. She accuses Pearl of treachery and leaves in anger taking the man with her by the ear. Chester then calls to demand an explanation of Pearl's queer actions.
