Professor Brookes is lecturing in America under the exchange system, and he finds time between lectures to deliver homely advice to Jenny, the waitress, who has set her mind on a Paris holiday and even pretends to be prepared to forgo being a good girl to attain her ambition. As the result of a queer chapter of accidents Jenny lands in the household of a self-made millionaire whose ' daughter the professor is about to marry. Jenny’s common sense is soon employed settling the various personal and emotional difficulties under which every member of the family seems to be struggling, but the future looks very black for her when, in order to help the others, she has taken the blame for a host of crimes. However, in a cleverly-contrived final scene everyone’s troubles are deftly settled and the professor realises that he is fo give Jenny her Paris trip when she becomes Mrs. Brookes.
