Synopsis
Society girl Elizabeth Schuyler goes abroad as a nurse when World War I is declared, and wins favor with the doughboys as "Lizzie." Elizabeth finds her life boring when she returns after the war. As a diversion, she helps the servants with their daily tasks, and is mistaken for a servant by Red, a friend from her overseas days. He invites Elizabeth to visit Mrs. Murphy's boardinghouse, where she discovers that the former servicemen are having difficulty finding employment. Pretending to visit a sanitarium in order to elude her father and boyfriend Bob, Elizabeth instead goes to live at the boardinghouse. She plans a society circus, and uses the profits to help the new careers of the servicemen. Elizabeth then opens an employment bureau for the boys, and agrees to marry Bob.
