After Herman has his poetry published in The Mortician Monthly, a shy coworker named Clyde asks him to compose love letters to help him attract the attention of a young lady he’s fallen for. Herman obliges, but soon Lily discovers samples of this mushy writing and becomes suspicious. After a re-enactment of the “hiding in the bushes” scene from CYRANO DE BERGERAC, the object of Clyde’s desire falls for Herman. Meanwhile, Herman mistakenly suspects that Clyde’s object of desire is Lily.
