Tilly, a country girl, receives one of the invitations. Kissing her sweetheart Tom, a young farmer, good-bye, the girl leaves for the city. Just before his relatives arrive, Miller exchanges places with his butler. It is his idea, that as a servant he can better size up the prospective heirs. The latter arrive and promptly commence quarreling. When Tilly appears, her simplicity and unaffectedness appeal to Miller. Ignorant of caste barriers, the girl strikes up a friendship with the "butler," The other relatives regard her with contempt. The following day, according to a prearranged scheme, the "butler" announces that "Miller" has been stricken with a contagious disease. All promptly flee with the exception of Tilly, who announces her intention of remaining to take care of her uncle. Later, Tilly sees the "butler," apparently burglarizing the safe. In her attempt to capture the man, she discovers his true identity. Delighted with the success of his experiment, Miller declares that Tilly is to inherit his fortune. Just at this moment, however, Tilly receives a package containing a stick of candy and a letter from Tom. The boy tells her how much he misses her. Tilly declares that she would rather go back to her sweetheart in the country than be an heiress. Miller, unable to see why she cannot do both, bundles her into his auto and goes back to the country with Tilly. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
