Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? On the way to take the post of maid at the Widow Jones’ home, Sis finds Nell’s vanity case which contains a picture of Jack. At the Jones house, Sis manages to blunder into all sorts of mix-ups until she seems to be stealing the love of everybody in the house. First Jack, then the butler, then Widower Smith and, finally, Steve, the loan shark, who calls to collect a debt owed by the butler and who really falls in love with Sis. Finally Sis is discharged, the Widow Smith declaring she wanted a maid, not a vampire. Steve has formed a plan to kidnap Sis in his automobile but, after a perilous ride, conditions reverse and Sis kidnaps Steve, the auto in its zig-zag course finally landing plump on the Jones’ porch. This gives Sis an opportunity to make explanations which heal the breach between Nell and Jack and with all serene Sis accepts the love of the butler.
