Sally Brent, a pretty laundry girl, believes in palmistry and is told by a charlatan that the man who affects purple as his colors is her affinity and soul mate. She is loved by Dan Maguire, driver of the laundry wagon, but he is very fond of red, which causes Sally much grief as she thinks a lot of Dan. One day she does up a bundle of shirts in which the color purple predominates. She writes a message on one of the cuffs, calling the owner her “soul mate.” The shirts belong to Gordon West, a young clubman. One of his acquaintances discovers the note written on the cuff, and after locating Sally, pretends to be her “soul mate” and invites her to meet him in the park. Sally is amazed and angry when she discovers that her admirer has dishonorable intentions. In the next batch of laundry she hides a note, demanding that West cease his attentions to her. West finds the note, discovers the cad who has impersonated him, punishes him severely and then goes to the laundry and gives Sally a lecture on “soul mates.” Sensible Sally thereupon presents Dan with a flaming red necktie.
