C. McCulla. The farce comedy was enjoyed by everyone present. The entire action takes place in the reception hall of Castle Heights, the home of Amantha and Sigmund Bibblesnuff.

Amantha is in the process of hiring household help. Fred Tierney, decides to take the job as butler. His marriage to Ethlyn Burgess is kept a secret, as Amantha Bibblesnuff wants only young, unmarried people in her home. They are to provide romance for her, as Amantha is very romantic and continually talks of the one beau in her life. Gussie Tweedles is the young cook who is studying dramatics and has a hobby of having movie stars place their teeth marks on her silver bracelet. Muggs Kibbons hears of the movie stars coming to Castle Heights and decides to rob the stars of their jewels. He enters the home by the window and poses as the floor polisher whom Amantha thinks her absent-minded brother hires. when the movie stars come, Muggs robs the girls of their jewels. They think Amantha is behind it all, while she thinks they are the cause of the thefts. A riot follows and the officers have to be called Sigmund finally recalls that he invited the stars to finish their picture at Castle Heights. Fred and Ethlyn reveal their secret marri- age, and Miss Bibblesnuff is thrilled. Everyone is relieved when Muggs is caught with the Jewels. The girls' trio and sextette presented numbers between acts.
