She does not love the count, but merely invited him to furnish a little amusement. George calls one afternoon and accidentally picks up a note, which happens to be the one the count had written to Peggy, accepting her invitation, saying he will call that evening. George thinks the count is trying to rob him of his love. He says nothing to Peggy about the note, but that same afternoon he tells his troubles to his roommate, who figures out a scheme whereby he can watch the count. George and his friend persuade the colored butler to follow "them" (George and his friend). The journey ends, after a taxicab ride of several blocks, at the stage door of a theater. Another friend, who is an actor, is now pressed into service, who, with the aid of black cork, makes George up to look like the butler, leaving the butler in the dressing room. After borrowing his livery, George returns to the Glenwood household, just in time to admit the count. George makes it very uncomfortable for the count that evening, and when the count left he went out a different way than which he entered, as George assisted him out of the rear window. George now explains to Peggy that he is not the butler, and admits to Peggy that he was a little jealous. Peggy now sees the humorous side of the situation, and assures George that she does not love the count. They forgive each other and with the engagement kiss, predict a very happy future.
