A group of servants in a bankrupt household hatch a scheme to save their jobs by passing off one of their own — a beautiful maid — as a debutante, hoping she will marry a wealthy man and restore the household's fortunes. Their elaborate deception leads to a series of farcical complications involving romantic mix-ups, a trained seal, and high-society impostures that threaten to expose the whole charade.
