The membership is equal in numbers until a new girl arrives, and she is snapped up by the Eta Betas. Marian Whiteman, an heiress and president of the Nu Pi, is informed of this and seeks a way to add another member to her own bunch to even things up. She has an idea when she sees Judy, the Swedish maid, cleaning her room. She slips Judy some money and tells her to go to the city, buy some clothes and come back and enter the seminary as a pupil. This appeals to Judy and she does so, not even telling Fritz, the janitor, of her intention. When Judy returns she is not recognized by anyone. Marian takes her in charge, pledges her to Nu Pi, and fearing her Swedish dialect will give her away, orders her not to speak to a soul until she is initiated. Judy obeys. The Eta Betas are consequently much jealous of the new Nu Pi and keep a close eye on the Nu Pi girls to seek a chance to gum their initiation ceremonies. Fritz, the janitor, is called in to aid the Nu Pi bunch the night of their initiation and banquet. He smuggles in the eats for them. One of the Eta Betas sees him enter Marian's room and meeting Marian's sweetheart, later tells him for a joke that there is a man calling on Marian. Jack becomes jealous and climbs the fire escape to investigate. Fritz and the girls hear him coming, think he is the principal and all hide. When Jack enters the room, all he finds is Fritz's hat which lends color to his suspicions. He, in turn, hides under the bed to await developments. The girls believe the intruder has left and go on with the initiation and banquet, forgetting Fritz cooped up in the wardrobe. All goes well until Fritz sees Judy eat, recognizes a familiar mannerism in the way she wields her knife and comes forth to greet her. Jack sees Fritz and thinks he has found his rival. He emerges from beneath the bed and the fight is on. The Eta Betas gather in the hall to enjoy the mixup. It finally winds up in the bathroom with Fritz in the tub and the water running and then Marian explains to Jack while Judy rescues Fritz. Meanwhile, the principal has heard the row and comes to investigate. The four of them: Jack, Marian, Judy and Fritz, have barely time to climb out and down the fire escape, when the principal enters. While she surveys the wrecked suite, the two couples seek a minister, where a double ceremony is quickly performed. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
