The new maid creates quite a stir in Mrs. Cook's staid, fashionable home. While capering about in her upstairs room, she brings down the ceiling. Mrs. Cook saves her from being discharged and then calls up the plasterer, widower John Haines, who is the father of Bert, the chauffeur in love with the Cooks' daughter Marie. John fixes the ceiling, and on his return home finds a note from his son saying he will be married and suggests his father follow his example. John tells the news to Luna, proposes to her, and she accepts without a second's hesitation. That night, Luna sees Marie and Bert elope and, in her excitement, makes a racket which Mr. and Mrs. Cook hear. Mr. Cook thinks it is burglars and holds Luna up with a gun. They find a note left by the elopers, telling of their intention, which adds to the confusion. Next day the elopers return for forgiveness, but Mrs. Cook refuses it. Suddenly Luna bursts in and introduces her husband, John Haines. Mrs. Cook looks disgusted and takes no interest in the matter until John takes his son Bert to his fatherly heart. Marie's parents then realize that Haines is Bert's father, and he and Luna are relatives of the Cooks by marriage. Luna is overjoyed, brings wine to celebrate the grand occasion, slaps Mrs. Cook heartily on the back, winding up by seizing Mr. and Mrs. Cook in one huge embrace and giving both resounding cheek kisses.
