She moves in with her Aunt Maggie and Uncle Jim. While living here they meet Mrs. Warren, a haughty and domineering society matron, and Joyce Belmont, whose highest ambition is to be a member of the social crowd, and to marry well. They consider the Roses very much beneath them and consequently do not invite them to the reception they are preparing for Jack Archer. The Roses hire Jack Watson, alias Jack Archer, the famous American novelist, who is getting ideas for his new novel, to work for them. Some years past Watson worked for Prince Rudolph of Berengalia, and there- fore, is quite well advanced in the art of society manners. Maggie, Peggy and Jim wish to show Mrs. Warren and Joyce Belmont that they are capable of climbing higher than they on the social trellis, and thus acquire the name of the “Climbing Roses.” They instruct Watson (Jack Archer) to teach them etiquette, and many amusing sequences on the part of Maggie and Jim result from these lessons.

But things do not run as smoothly for Jack Archer as he surmised and he finds that he has inherited a lot of trouble as well as a position. He falls in love with Peggy, but due to the fact that the real Watson was somewhat of a flirt, she refuses to have anything to do with him and finds many disagreeable things for him to do, to the discomfort of his secretary, Ferdie Wimbledon, who has unwillingly become Jack’s all-’round flunky. Jack soon discovers the snobbishness of the higher class and resolves to get the Roses into society. He asks Prince Rudolph, who is a friend of his, to visit the Roses and thus establishes them as social leaders. The Prince accepts the invitation but at the last moment fails to appear and Jack is forced to save the day by hiring a passing traveler to pose as the Prince. Through some misunderstanding on the part of the “paid” Prince and his friends, all three appear disguised as Princes, instead on one, and then the fun begins. Of course this only makes Mrs. Warren and Joyce Belmont surer of themselves and they become more snobbish than before. The Roses forgive Watson, and he decides that something has to be done to give them the chance they deserve to get into society. He de- cides to give up his position and attend the reception that is being pre- pared for him by the town’s social leaders, but sends Maggie a telegram stating that he will first be received by her. He did not think of the trouble that was in store for him and when he arrives at the reception they think he is Watson and throw him out. Maggie, however, is a bit more patient and allows him to explain, whereas the social leader does not. Everything is brought to a happy conclusion by his explanation, and the Roses are at last going up the social ladder, Mrs. Warren and Joyce Belmont are a bit subdued, and Jack Archer gets the material for his story as well as the girl of his dreams, Peggy Rose.
