Synopsis
Mr. and Mrs. Tidmarsh, a middle-class English couple, give a dinner party in honor of their wealthy uncle, Gabriel Gilwattle, hoping to receive his financial aid in their struggle to keep up appearances. Regrets reduce their table to 13; and because Gabriel is superstitious, they hire a guest from Blankley's, sight unseen; further cancellations obviate this necessity, and Margery Seaton, their governess, is invited; but the "hired guest" arrives anyhow and is announced as Lord Strathpeffer. Margery recognizes the tipsy man as a former lover, and he is assumed to be an imposter. Sobering, Strathpeffer realizes he has come to the wrong party and asserts his right to his title; but Gwennie hides her father's watch in Strathpeffer's pocket as he is renewing his romance with Margery. A police inspector arrives hunting for the missing lord, establishing his authenticity and the fact that he is not, after all, the hired guest.
