Eddy and his chauffeur come to the rescue of Louise and her maid, Corinne, whose automobile breaks down. Lee soon puts matters right, and Corinne gets her fuzzy hair all mixed up with his as he tinkers about. Eddy naturally keeps Louise company and cards are exchanged. Arriving home papa puts a veto on the prospective call of the impecunious young lawyers, as he wants a titled man for a son-in-law. One evening papa goes to the club, and is introduced to Lord Chester, and asks his lordship to call. While papa is thus being entertained, Eddy has called and is enjoying a tête-à-tête with Louise. Corinne spies Lee and introduces him to the butler and the cook and they all have a good time. The following day his Lordship calls, Louise however, has no use for titled personages with Eddy outside honking his auto horn. She excuses herself and escapes, taking Corinne with her. Papa agrees to pay the lord $100,000 the day he marries Louise. His Lordship receives a letter from his mother, telling him to try and pay the mortgage on their estate. He follows up his suit with determination and Louise is forced to accept his offer. The invitations are sent out and Louise's little sister, Lois, is summoned home. She meets the Lord, and they are mutually attracted. Eddy gets desperate, and persuades Louise to elope with him. His Lordship can stand his false position no longer. He tells Lois to elope with him. The parties all meet at the marriage bureau and again tumble upon each other at the parsonage. Explanations ensue and eventually all the couples appear before a puzzled and angry papa and mamma. Lord Cheater gets his check and saves the family estates, and everybody is happy.
