Synopsis
The Honorable Hugh Wentworth arrives from England to bring a valuable diamond to millionaire Edward Ensloe. Ensloe's older daughter Eleanor has romantic designs on Hugh, but he is more attracted to her tomboy sister Peggy. Eleanor is concerned with fashion and society while Peggy prefers to box with her younger brother Bob. Hugh stays at the Ensloe house and is amused by Peggy's correspondence course in detective work. After a detective is hired to pose as the butler to protect the rare gem, Peggy disguises herself as the maid and captures prowler "Lonesome Larry" Doyle with the use of jujitsu. Peggy saves the diamond and wins Hugh's love.
