Later Cutey calls at the Trevor house to see Alys and meets Goodbluff there, who soon quarrels with him. Mrs. Trevor, entering in the midst of the dispute, requests Cutey to leave the house and apologizes to Goodbluff for the young man's behavior. Then she sends a note to Cutey, telling him that her daughter is no longer free to receive his calls. By a strange occurrence, Cutey's suspicions of Goodbluff are aroused and he determines to watch him. Noticing an advertisement in the paper for a maid of all work, inserted by Mrs. Trevor, he obtains the necessary disguise and applies for the position, which he gets.

🎬 MovieFinder's Take
The short film constructs a classic comedic intrigue, relying on the contrast between a naive yet perceptive hero and stuffy high society. It employs typical silent-era gags and misunderstandings to propel the plot forward.
Those who tire of modern complexity will find a charming, brisk tale that parodies detective tropes, where chance, not deduction, saves the day. — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Laurence Trimble
