When social climber Mrs. Pugfeather moves to town with her daughter Celia and penniless ward Beatrice, she begins a campaign to marry her shallow daughter to the millionaire. Beatrice is sent to town to hire a chauffeur and when Billy sees her, he immediately falls in love. Donning his chauffeur's uniform, Billy applies for the position and is hired. Beatrice falls in love with him, too, and later, when Billy quits over the Pugfeathers' mistreatment of Beatrice, the girl offers him her meager savings. Realizing that he has finally found a girl who loves him for himself, Billy proposes. Returning home to hear Celia accusing her parents of sheltering a pauper, Beatrice resolves to run away. As she is about to leave, Mr. Pugfeather informs her that she has inherited a fortune from her father. When, after her marriage, Billy informs Beatrice that he is also a multimillionaire, the last laugh is on Mrs. Pugfeather and Celia when they pay a visit to Mr. Van Dyke and discover their former chauffeur and his new bride.
