Summary
Dick, a lovesick youth, discovers that the radiant Mary is besieged by a legion of admirers. Determined to claim her affection, he masquerades as her household butler, using the guise to bar rival suitors from the manor and to court her in private. The charade unravels, and the household expels him in disgrace. Unbowed, Dick enlists the maid’s complicity, fabricating a ludicrous rumor that Mary is bald and wears false teeth, a ploy that succeeds in scattering her flock of hopefuls, yet the outcome diverges from his original intention, leaving the romance in a state of comic ambiguity.
Synopsis
Young Dick is pursuing pretty young Mary, but so are a lot of other young men. Dick decides to impersonate her butler and uses that position to keep all of Mary's suitors out of the house so he can work on her himself. When his ruse is discovered, he is thrown out of the house. That, however, doesn't stop him. He gets the maid to help him concoct a story about Mary actually being bald and having false teeth, hoping to drive them away. It works, but it doesn't quite have the effect he intended it to.
