Better Never Than Late

Uncle Joe advertises to hotel guests Billie Jo's services as a stenographer. Mr. Norton, a salesman who wants to write a business letter to Frank Mortimer, hires her. Norton dictates a letter that is harsh and scathing as Mortimer reneged on an order. But Norton decides not to send the letter until he returns to the office. He learns when he returns to the office that Mortimer has come through with his large order and a promise for a future order. Norton can't find the letter. He returns to the Shady Rest to see if he left the letter there. They all learn that Uncle Joe found the letter and mailed it. To get the letter back, Kate has to battle Sam, an absent minded Floyd, Pixley postmaster Foley, and locksmith Tad Fiskee. Kate still can't get it back. But a good hearted Floyd may ultimately come to the rescue.
