Synopsis by Sandra Brennan
In this comedy, a boozy Brit inherits an estate from his late American uncle. Unfortunately, he is too drunk to claim it and so sends his valet in his stead. The prim butler goes to the executor's home and meets and falls in love with a lovely maid. Unfortunately, the executor's portly daughter also finds the valet/"nephew" attractive and begins an aggressive courtship. Mixed-up mayhem ensues until the truth is revealed.
