The doctor is working his crafty designs on the wealthy Letty McLean when he comes to the attention of the girls. They are stopping at the same summer resort, with Mona posing as Mary's maid, to aid their plans. By a clever ruse Mona secures the position as Mrs. McLean's maid, while Mary's beauty captures the amorous eye of Dr. Hyoscine. Facing a clever antagonist the girls are put on their sternest mettle, but with the aid of Mary McMurtha they succeed in teaching Dr. Hyoscine a severe lesson and at the same time bringing him to justice.
