Lucy needs money to buy her son a bicycle for his birthday, so Mr. Barnsdahl arranges for her to be a temporary secretary in Manhattan. Her unfamiliarity with modern, electric equipment soon turns the office into a shambles. As a last chance, she is sent on an errand to deliver contracts. With extra time, she goes to pick out the bicycle, but destroys her suit in the process and has to borrow a kangaroo costume to make her delivery.
