When they learn that a long-forgotten country cousin, Nancy, has fallen heir to a lot of money they concoct a scheme to get next to some of it. They get Nancy to leave her happy home in the country to come and live with them, thereby breaking up a rustic love affair between Nancy and Dan Sully, a young farmer. When Nancy leaves for the city to become a society lady, Dan decides to surprise her and accordingly begins a course of correspondence lessons on social efficiency. Nancy is a shock to her relatives, but her money counterbalances all for a time. Their scheme is working out nicely until, one evening, when they are entertaining some important persons (on Nancy's money), Nancy insists upon making her debut, when suddenly and quite unannounced there enters Dan, who has come from the country to stagger society. Society is staggered all right, and also gets wise to what cheapskates Howard and his mother really are. Dan and Nancy do not care to follow up their advantage and return to scenes of their childhood, neither sadder nor wiser, but much happier. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
