Synopsis
In an attempt to break up the engagement of her son, Jack, to Mary, a grocer's daughter, aristocratic Mrs. De Peyster plans to take him to Europe. When he fails to appear at the steamer, Mrs. De Peyster sets out to foil their plan to elope. Exchanging clothes with her cousin, she and her maid go to the cousin's boardinghouse. There she meets art thief "Deacon" Pyecroft and learns that he plans to pilfer her house. So warned, she quickly returns home. Meanwhile, Jack and Mary have stopped off at the De Peyster home to get some of Jack's clothing. While all three are there, Pyecroft arrives, thinking the coast is clear. Finally, the police and reporters come, and, wishing to avoid scandal, Mrs. De Peyster gives her blessing to the young couple and introduces Pyecroft as her personal art critic
