Synopsis
While working as a dishwasher in a fashionable New York hotel, Elsie MacFarland often sneaks upstairs to enviously peek at the people dancing to jazz music. Seeing the attractive Elsie dressed in a boy's uniform, wealthy Lemuel Stallings wagers a friend that he can get Elsie onto the dance floor. After exchanging clothes with a bell-hop and winning Elsie's favor, Lemuel gives her a dress which Eloise Barrison, an heiress planning to elope with her father's ex-chauffeur, gives him to clean. After obtaining the high-heeled slippers of an overweight woman resting her feet, Elsie is mistaken for Eloise by house detective Murphy, who is trying to stop the elopement. Elsie escapes from Murphy, but the chauffeur, seeing Eloise's dress, follows her into a room. Their subsequent fight is interrupted when Lemuel enters. Although the chauffeur knocks Lemuel out, Elsie, swinging from a chandelier, kicks the chauffeur in the jaw. After Eloise's father gives Elsie a $5,000 reward, she accepts Lemuel's proposal.
