He does his stuff in a big window in the front of the store where the passers-by stop to watch him display the various types of high grade wearing apparel. With the constant sporting of these fine clothes, Ralph develops a society complex, so when a charming little girl and her father drop in the store to make a purchase, he decides to four-flush his way into their home. On this occasion Ralph is togged up in formal attire and he passes himself off as a society man, thereby managing to receive an invitation to the home for a week-end. Soon after his arrival at the house, Ralph finds that his prospective father-in-law is fond of speculation and so he bluffs an intimate knowledge of the stock market and advises the old man to buy cotton, which results in the bottom falling out of this stock. Marvin, another week-end visitor, recognizes Ralph as a "window dummy" and exposes him. However, the market turns, Ralph's tip becomes good and he wins a home.
