Plot summary
Mr. Dithers goes on vacation, and leaves Dagwood in charge of the office. He arrives exhausted, having worked late on his tax return and being awakened by garbage collectors. Dagwood is recognized the next day taking an attractive female business client to lunch at a French restaurant. Blondie learns of this, is jealous, and insists that Dagwood start eating only from a lunchbox. However, remembering Mr. Dithers' insistence that he land the business contract, Dagwood takes the client out a second time, and follows her to her apartment afterward where she tries to seduce him. Blondie finally exposes the woman as a dangerous swindler.
