Willie Basconb never could say No, so when a mysterious stranger, Willie the Whisper, appears with a violin, Willie buys it. Then Mrs. Basconb is suddenly called away and Anne and her brother. All this happens ju3t at the time when Mrs. Van Astor, the town’s social light, has been invited to dinner. Willie has promised to give Hannah, his fiancee, fifty dollars for her Temple of rawn Fund—just the amount which his mother has 16ft for him to hand to Mrs. Van Astor for her Homeless Dogs Project. Freddie Baldwin, the town's rich boy, offers to wager fifty dollars that Willie cannot say NO for a period of twenty-four hours, in desperation Willie accepts the challenge, putting up the money which his mother has left for Mrs. Van Astor. Willie introduces Freddie to the Con Astors as a butler, and presents the creditor, who arrives, as b6ing Freddie Baldwin. Willie the Whisper gains entrance into the house and hides behind a screen. v'ord is received that the Senor Jose pchabal, the eminent violin virtuoso, has lost his famous Stradivarius, and Willie believes he has bought it. Mabel Bascorab, a cousin from the country, arrives and causes Yillie no end of embarrassment. To top th6 climax Freddie determines to force Willie to say NO and thereby places him in all sorts of dilenas, of course Willie wins and all is well as Mrs. Bascomb returns to the scene.
