Margaret is a hero-worshiper of the author of the moment, Mr. Arling. Ethel's housemaid is to enter service in the Arling household and Margaret, seeing her chance to be near her idol, goes as the maid. Ethel's brother George, who has never seen Margaret, arrives home. Ethel tells him the joke and he resolves to go as a plumber and win the maid. At Arling's, Margaret has tidied up the novelist's study, which so irritates him that he has her reduced to kitchen-maid, and the real kitchen-maid, Stella, promoted to her place. The news reaches the club and the unmarried members rush in a body to win the heiress. Neal, as the milkman, is one of the first to arrive. He thinks Margaret a real maid and loses all interest in the rich housemaid. Meanwhile, the men make love to the bewildered Stella. George is leading, when Arling hears the news and he, too, enters the race. Margaret and Neal have really fallen in love as kitchen-maid and milk-man. George gets Stella to the church but Ethel arrives just in time to tell him the truth and save him from a misalliance. Margaret and Neal are just behind and are married.
