Jack, at college, runs low on cash, as college boys are wont to do, and wires his father for funds. The latter, tired of reimbursing his son, refuses the request and notifies him that he had better cut out the gay life. He also writes to his daughter who lives near the college, and tells her to get him interested in some girl so that he will buckle down and start to save. When sister tries to carry out her part of the contract. Jack balks and disappears when she tries to introduce him. That night, the boys, out for a wild time, try to rip the roof off the town. Jack smothers one of the fellows in a blanket and leads him around the village. When the unlucky one is finally released, he lets a yell out of him that's loud enough to wake the whole town. The new cop on the beat sees a fine chance to distinguish himself and starts after the merrymakers. Jack seeks refuge in the first house he sees and is mistaken for the new butler. As luck would have it, this is the home of his sister's girl friend. He \"buttles\" very amateurishly to be sure, but he gets along. As the cop has assumed a policy of \"watchful waiting\" outside the door, Jack is forced to remain under cover. Everything goes fine until Jack finds himself waiting on his own sister who is calling on her friend. Explanations and apologies are in order and Jack removes his apron and joins the crowd. Jack has inadvertently pleased his father by falling deeply in love with his sister's fair friend and the prospects point to Jack giving up the high life.
