Plot.
"Willie Dime," a big, bad taxi driver, is very jealous of "Miss Eva" and it burns him up to see any fool Jelly-bean "carrying on flirtatious flirtations with her." He gets madder and "badder" as the story gets "hummier" and funnier, while smooth, suave Florian Slappey gets mixed up in all kinds of complications.
