They are a happy-go-lucky lot, and when, by mistake, they receive an invitation to Mrs. Van De Water's ball, intended for Phillip Jones, a young millionaire, who, tired of being chased by ambitious mammas and anxious to see the other side of life, had taken a room next door to them, think Mrs. Van De Water must be a forgotten friend of their "better days." They utilize the lace curtains and piano cover to make ball dresses, while Margaret's dress coat makes a passable "dress suit" for Dick. Phillip meets Margaret, learns of their plans, and taking a liking to the girl, decides to help them out if possible. All go to the ball and make a great hit in their improvised costumes, but Phillip has to borrow some of the hall decorations to save the situation later, as the weird costumes begin to come apart. After a great deal of fun and embarrassment a joyous ending is provided by the marriage of Margaret and Phillip. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
