Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Frances is the poor relation in the household of the Martins, who are wealthy Americans and who have social ambitions for their daughter. They invite Lord Geoffrey to spend the weekend with them so that they daughter can “get him on the string.” The guest arrives and Geoffrey receives the attention of Amy, while there seems to be a mutual interest between Henry and Frances. Frances has been turned out of her room to accommodate Henry and when she finds that she has forgotten something she goes to his room to get it. She is seen leaving and accused of wrong-doing. Henry, however, knows that she is innocent and gets her address to follow her. At last Amy succeeds in her plans and becomes engaged to the nobleman. Then Henry returns with Frances and says that she is Lady Fairfax, as he is the real lord. Frances is happy and Amy flies to her mother’s arms when she find that her fiancé is only a bogus lord.
