Synopsis
Bob Warburton, a wealthy young bachelor, falls in love with Betty Annesly and, in order to be near her, talks himself into a job as her father's gardener. Betty learns of his deception and, to teach him a lesson, insists that he serve at table for an important luncheon. Bob refuses, and Count Karaloff offers the loan of his butler. Bob learns that Badkoff, the butler, is an enemy agent assigned to steal the plans for a helicopter from Betty's father, Colonel Annesly. Disguising himself, Bob poses as a maid from an employment agency and protects the plans. Bob and Betty are later married.

Notes
Harold MacGrath's novel and play were also the basis for the 1914 Jesse L. Lasky production of the same title, directed by Oscar C. Apfel and Wilfred Buckland and starring Max Figman (see AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1911-20).
