Lord Stanley disinherits his only son, Jack, because he refuses to marry his cousin, the Lady Maude. Jack comes to America out of funds, and having no business training, accepts a position as groom in the establishment of a wealthy American. Jack soon falls in love with Ann, the daughter of the house, and when his affection is discovered by Ann's father, Jack is ordered off the place. When his fortunes are at their lowest ebb, Jack receives news that his father has passed away, and just before his death, in a spirit of forgiveness, willed him his entire fortune. Introduced by his lawyer, who happens to be an old friend of Ann's father. Jack once more enters the home in which he has been employed, but this time bearing his rightful title. Ann, who has been urged by her father to win the affections of young Lord Stanley, who is reputed to be very rich, is prepared to treat him coldly. Upon finding, however, that the young Lord is no other than the groom who won her heart, she gives Jack quite a different sort of reception.
