Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Molly, a slavey in a New York boarding house, is in love with Herbert, the butler at the house next door. They are engaged to be married. Molly is a sort of Cinderella, whom everybody in the boarding house picks on, especially Beth, an actress in search of a rich husband. A mysterious man comes to the place, and both Molly and Beth, because of his resemblance to a picture they have seen in the paper of the lost Lord Lovell, believe him to be none other than this titled Englishman, whom the trustees of his estate are seeking. Beth gets the stranger a place in her company, and the manager makes money featuring “the lost Lord Lovell.” Meanwhile, Molly and the butler have been married. To celebrate their honeymoon they go to the theater. Coming out, they read in the paper about the hit Lord Lovell is making on Broadway and the story of his disappearance from England. The butler is slightly surprised at this, for he is in fact the true Lord Lovell. He proves his identity, much to the chagrin of the actress and the disgrace of the impostor. And Molly, the poor little slavey, who has in her the makings of a great lady, is rather surprised to find herself the wife of a real English lord.
