Mildred's first film for Lloyd was From Hand to Mouth, and in this film she played a character which was markedly different from her roles to come: a confident, assured socialite.
Davis, as well, seems more adult in the second half of this film: evident in the fact that she received more close-ups, and exhibited more personality opposite Lloyd.
But what Davis perhaps lacked in romantic spark, she made up in a kind of vulnerable femininity: she perfectly provided a damsel in various stages of distress, and was at her best when her fragile persona became volatile and threatening to Harold's little world.

Harold—and here he is apparently playing himself, for in the film he is referred to as Harold Lloyd—is an earnest, ambitious small-town boy in love with Mildred (Mildred Davis, who would become Lloyd's real-life wife).
He writes to Mildred every day, but something must get lost in translation, because she gets the idea that he's landed an important position, not simply a job.
Now Harold is on the hook, and in several inventive comedy sequences he tries to establish himself as an important store manager before Mildred, all the while keeping his fellow employees in the dark about his intentions.
