Florence is at one of the watering-places in Europe when her maid, to whom Florence has been acting maid, dies. Florence continues the adventure. Her death is cabled to her attorney in New York and he, in turn, advises her next of kin, a cousin and his wife who have an adopted son, Harry. Later Harry meets the girl in her disguise as maid and both are impressed. In a spirit of mischief Florence applies to his parents for a position and secures it. But when Harry shows his preference for the maid while the parents have picked a rich society girl for him, the maid is turned out. The pair elope. Time passes. Harry's funds run low and work seems hard to get. They secure a place acting for moving pictures. The attorney pays a visit to the cousins and is shown a photograph of the maid that Harry married. He recognizes the face of Florence. After a futile search he sees her face on the screen and then visits the studio. Her adventure is over, and she has married the man who loved her for herself alone. She returns to affluence with him and the selfish cousins are made to feel regret for having treated her unkindly.
