The scene of the opera is laid in England. Lady Harriet, played by Frances Ringholrn, and her friend Nancy, Marjorie Swartsel, are discon- tented with court life.

While in this disguise they hire out as servant girls to some young farmers who turn out to be noblemen in disguise. Finally they are rescued by Sir Tristan from this situation. Lady Harriet soon finds that she has fallen in love with Lionel, Robert Gerdes, and Nancy likewise with Plunket, jack jacques, and so it all ends happily.
