Her little brother and her dog help her with her work. She is fired from her job in the office building when she mops the owner's face instead of his floors. Just as she is leaving the building she is stopped by a lawyer and presented with a letter from an uncle in Scotland whom she has never seen and who has never seen her. The letter states that if Francis Campbell is a boy, he will make him his heir. Frances starts for Scotland and arrives at the castle of her uncle, clad in a funny pair of kilts and wearing a mustache in order to make her uncle believe that she is a boy. The uncle receives her with open arms, but Glen, a nephew, is not so well pleased. He knows he will lose the fortune if this newcomer stays. He plots with the butler to scare her from the house. That night all kinds of strange noises are heard. Frances leaves her room and is soon seized by a pair of bony hands and almost frightened out of her kilts. Weird shapes float through the halls, frightening everybody almost to death. Frances, her brother and her dog flee from room to room, but the ghostly figures still pursue her. Her uncle and his secretary hear the noise and come to see what it is all about. Glen and his henchmen try to frighten them also and they are almost paralyzed from fear. When Glen sees that he cannot frighten Francis and her brother from the house, he tries to drown them out with a hose. But Frances turns the trick on them, and they are washed out of the house. Her uncle congratulates her and when he finds that she is a girl, he forgives her and makes her his heiress. See less
