Plot summary

Joan Hollingsworth's mother orders her to remain in her bedroom during a party for older sister Ethel, whose beau J. Waldo Barnes is the guest of honor. Tired of her sister always being favored, Joan sneaks out of the house and runs into a burglar who is thinking about robbing it.

A police officer comes along so Joan, not wanting to get arrested but also not wanting her mother to discover what she's up to, convinces the cop that she's employed for the party as a maid. She goes back inside and tries not to be found out, successful right up to the very end.
