Lord Tweedham, a tipsy Englishman, falls heir to his deceased uncle's estate in the United States. Upon his arrival there, his valet, Smithers, is forced to impersonate Tweedham because of his master's drunken state. At the home of the uncle's executor, John Walker, Smithers falls in love with the maid, Susan, though he is pursued by the executor's fat daughter, Muriel. After numerous complications, Smithers admits his identity and marries Susan, while Lord Tweedham falls victim to the wiles of Muriel.
