An instructor in etiquette is engaged, but gives up in despair because he believes it an impossible task to make them socially "fit." They attend a society affair, but Mr. Rose insists on stepping on the train of his wife's gown, and the claims of the Rose family to social recognition are discounted. Lillian Rose graduates from college, and her parents arrange that she shall make her social debut, and prepare an elaborate reception. The young men all admire Lillian and there is a crush at the reception. Count Dillpicklovich enters the lists as a suitor and Lillian is advised to set her cap for him. Lillian's sweetheart, Jack, has followed her from college and arrives at the reception. Old man Rose watches his daughter carefully and catches her embracing Jack in the garden. He tries to capture the intruder, but succeeds only in tearing a tail from his coat. Jack exchanges the mutilated coat for one temporarily hung up by the butler. Then he and Lillian escape to the minister's and are married. Old man Rose annoys everybody while searching for the owner of the coat tail, but everything turns out all right when the young couple announce their wedding.
