Synopsis

In order to support her little brother Edgar, twelve-year-old Polly works as a maid in the home of attorney John Ruffin. Polly wins Ruffin's sympathy because she resembles Marion, the daughter of his fiancée's sister, Lady Osterley, who is separated from her husband, the duke. Knowing that Lady Osterley is unhappy because the duke insists upon sole custody of Marion, Ruffin conceives of the plan to substitute Polly for Marion. The switch is accomplished and Marion runs away with her mother. After several misadventures, the duke and Lady Osterley are finally reconciled, and Polly finds a happy home as well.
