She is attracted to Bill, but his red hair makes her suspicious, and she ruins a business deal for him by incorrectly telling her boss that Bill has “a temper like a roaring lion.” Lois is befriended by Helen (wears glasses) and her Uncle Ned (short) and admits she’s a “petty, bigoted, prejudiced fool!” Uncle Ned will finance Bill’s invention and Bill and Lois reconcile. |
