The real nurse has an engagement so she consents to let Jennie, who would be a nurse, take her place. Monty arrives on a visit to Brown just in time to see the pretty nurse on her way, and when he hears Brown's complaint readily offers to be a substitute invalid. All works well until Brown also gets a view of the nurse, and then there is a fight to see just who will be the invalid. Brown plans revenge and before long everything is in a tangle and poor Jennie has a hard time tending all the invalids in the house. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
