Max becomes enamoured of a girl whom he meets in the park, and, making an appointment with her, scribbles her address on one of his cuffs. The next morning his man-servant, failing to arouse him when the laundry maid arrives, collects the linen and sends it to the laundry, including the shirt with the fair one's address. When Max awakes he dwells with pleasurable anticipation upon his forthcoming meeting until he bethinks himself of the address. His shirt is not to be seen, and Max strews the floor with the contents of his wardrobe. He learns the fate of the address, and, clad in his night attire, rushes into the street. The laundry van is at the door, and Max goes hurriedly through all the bags of linen, until the roadway is strewn with garments of every description. Unable to find his property, he departs, with the laundryman in pursuit. He next visits a laundry, where his exploits among the clean garments arouse the forewoman's indignation. The pursuing laundryman's entry, and his subsequent retaliation, causes Max to beat a retreat. He reaches the river, where a girl is washing some linen, and he upsets her into the water. With apologies he fishes her out, and makes another appointment, scribbling the address on his hat lining. Her name is Marie, and she is no other than the first one's maid. Max calls upon her, when the sudden return of her mistress causes her to hide him in the piano. The mistress seats herself at the piano, but soon finds that something is wrong, and on opening it discovers Max. Having almost given up hope of seeing him, she is delighted, when Marie enters and claims him as hers. Both ladies go off into hysterics, whilst Max hurriedly retreats in dismay.
