Becoming desperate from worrying over money matters, Cutey rents out his father's house to Mr. Harley, who announces his family consist of one daughter. It looks like easy money until the butler, who, of course, knows all about Cutey's little scheme, begins to make trouble. After securing half the rent money, the butler tells Cutey he intends taking a permanent vacation. As a consequence, Cutey has to act the part of the butler himself. Next day the Harleys move in and Cutey, acting as the butler, realizes to his horror that he has met Rose previously. She recognizes him at once, but keeps silent, and proceeds to enjoy a little fun at his expense. To get rid of his tutor, Cutey pretends to be very ill, and the tutor writes to the young man's parents to come home at once. Cutey meets with many ludicrous mishaps in trying to carry out his role as butler. He is finally caught attempting to steal some of his own clothes. Harley, greatly enraged, fires the "butler." Cutey determines to call on Rose without his disguise and confess. He selects the day on which his parents arrive. As he is supposed to be sick abed, Cutey desperately convinces Rose that the people at the door are escaped lunatics. He then quickly dons a bathrobe and a sickly smile and admits his parents. Father is all sympathy until he happens to discover some of Rose's clothing, and the girl herself, in the closet. Then there is great excitement, greatly augmented by the return of Harley. Cutey finally has to clear things up by confessing the truth of how he became a "landlord." The parents are not at all displeased on learning he and Rose are in love, and all are soon the best of friends. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
