The president of the company, John Baxter, and his bored daughter Lolita, are then dismayed to learn that Frank has begun to work for their competitor, Bon Soir Stockings. After learning that Frank is stealing their customers, Lolita convinces her father and his associates, who do not believe that women can do "men's" work, to let her sell stockings. Using the name of Mary Smith, Lolita makes an appointment with Mr. Morán, one of Frank's customers, and then sells him 150 gross of stockings. Discovering that he is being undermined, Frank determines to win his next sale with a man named Fishback, whom he meets for dinner. At the restaurant, Fishback confesses that women are his weakness and eyes "Mary" from across the room. Not realizing that she is the salesperson who stole his customer, Frank enlists her help. When Fishback places his order for 300 gross, Lolita uses the Ninón order form without Frank's knowledge. After this second failure, Frank travels to Pottsville, where his customer, Mr. Brown, meets him at the station to tell him that he's already signed an order for Ninón stockings. At an inn in Pottsville, Frank meets Lolita, still in the guise of Mary, and having caught on to the fact that she is stealing his trade, gives her a list of the customers he's planning to see and challenges her to steal them away.

After the customers flock to buy from Lolita, Frank's boss, who believes that he sabotaged the Ninón show, fires him. Frank then visits Lolita at her home and still unaware of her true identity, mistakenly thinks that Baxter, her father, is making sexual advances toward her.
