She begins to treat Bob (her sweetheart) rather cold. Her brother, Dick, notices this, but is puzzled to account for it, until he finds the letter, which explains her actions. The day on which the count is to call Dick hires a tramp whom he dresses up as a count, while Bob is disguised with whiskers clipped from the tramp's beard, and passes as the count's secretary. The real count is waylaid, bound and gagged, and hidden under a bush. The bogus count is then introduced to May, and he proceeds to make things merry. At the dinner table he disgusts the family, especially father. May is discouraged and begins to long for Bob. Father takes a hand and has the count thrown out. Bob slips out and removes his disguise and returns to receive father's blessings. The gardener releases the real count; he dashes for the house. At the front door the bogus and the real count meet. They clash. The tramp being a fighter, he picks the nobleman up and dumps him in a passing ash cart. Written by
