Elsa has a romantic relationship via correspondence with Clint, and on the spur of the moment decides to visit his town. She discovers Clint is a wrestler called “The Monster,” with a very misshapen face, and rejects him hysterically. Back home Elsa realises she was unfair, and writes to apologize. Her letters are always returned “address unknown.” One night, a handsome man appears and refunds the money Elsa spent on her trip to meet Clint: it’s Clint, who had been suffering from a glandular problem when she met him. He’s now cured. Elsa shows him her repentant letters, and they reconcile.
