Daisy is a musical comedy star. Her manager decides to put her in a rural drama, and sends her to a farm to study types and acquire the rube dialect. Down on the farm Hiram, the hired man, is in love with Tildy, the farmer's daughter. A handsome new hired man flirts with Daisy, makes a hit with Tildy, and Hiram is ditched. He tells his troubles to Daisy, who takes a hand in the game. She coaches Tildy to make violent love to the new hired man, who, tired of the game, spurns her. Daisy arranges that Pa, Ma and Hiram witness the hired man's perfidy. The hired man makes a sudden departure, Tildy and Hiram are reconciled, while Daisy returns to start rehearsals for the drama. When the leading man of the company appears he turns out to be the hired man, who had also gone to the country for "atmosphere." He gets a shock when he discovers that Daisy is the leading lady. Tildy's pa arrives and starts to clean up with the actor-hired-man, saying he has broken Tildy's heart. Hiram and Tildy, just married, come on the scene, and disaster is averted. Both Daisy and the leading man had got enough "atmosphere" to put the play across, and rehearsals begin.
