Uncle George has a rooted aversion to young men marrying, so he tells Gerald if he ever becomes matrimonially entangled, he will cut him off at once. One day, while painting in an art gallery, Gerald meets Peggy Rainsforth, a struggling art student. Peggy faints while at work, and Gerald offers to see her home. On the way he draws from her the story that she has fainted from want of food, and he at once takes her to a restaurant to dinner. They become friends. Friendship turns into love and Gerald marries the struggling art student and takes her to his flat. Their life is a happy one till they get word from Uncle George that he is coming to visit Gerald and that he expects to be put up at the flat. They are at their wits' end what to do. At last Peggy hits on the idea that she will disguise herself as a page boy. She does so. She sleeps, or is supposed to sleep, in a clothes room off Gerald's room, while Uncle George occupies the room supposed to be the page's. Uncle George is seized with a toothache in the night and wants to send the page out for medicine. Gerald declares his page is sick and goes himself. He has to rouse Peggy first, however, and get her into her boy's suit in case Uncle George needs help. His tooth gets worse while Gerald is gone, and Peggy bathes his face with hot water and relieves the pain and Uncle George tips her fifty cents. Gerald arrives with the medicine and after many complications, they at last get Uncle to bed. The next day he falls asleep in his chair while smoking and sets himself on fire. Peggy rushes to the rescue and extinguishes the flames, but burns her hands terribly. She faints and her wig comes off. Uncle George discovers her sex, but when Gerald returns, Uncle George is so delighted with Peggy's heroism that he withdraws his objections to their marriage and gives them his blessing.
