A businessman thinks that all women are frivolous creatures only interested in clothes, make-up and perfume. He decides to fire all his women employees including his secretary Ruth Barton who warns him he will come to regret it. Finding himself at a loss, he turns to her for advice over business deals, but she makes him pay a great deal for it. Finally she intercepts a major order and directs it towards a rival firm.
