Millicent Beldon, daughter of a publisher, knows her father desires to secure Carlton's account of his adventures. An impulse leads the girl to call at the explorer's home. Millicent is taken to be an applicant for the position of housemaid. A spirit of adventure causes her to accept the position. She and Carlton meet and love at first sight results. That night the explorer works on his story. Millicent, who has daringly determined to appropriate the manuscript, falls asleep in a chair in the hall. There Carlton finds her. Unable to resist the temptation, the explorer kisses her gently without waking her and hastens away. Meanwhile, alarmed by his daughter's disappearance, Beldon notifies the police. The following morning the newspaper informs Millicent of the search being made for her. To conceal her identity from Carlton, she tears the story out of the paper. Carlton however, secures another copy and learns his maid's secret. Later, Millicent secures an opportunity to steal the explorer's story, but her love for him makes her realize the enormity of the offense. Carlton later hears Millicent phoning to her father. Anxious to keep his presence in town secret, he severs the wire. Alarmed by the interruption, Beldon and several detectives ascertain Carlton's address and hasten to the house. Meanwhile, the explorer asks Millicent to marry him. She consents upon condition that he give the rights of his story to her father. And with her father and the officers hammering at the door, Millicent holds the ends of the severed wire together, while Carlton calls up a minister who marries them over the telephone.
