Plot

edit

An actor from a touring theatrical troupe is hired to impersonate an English lord by a small town social climber in order to impress their rival acquaintance who has thrown a party for a British aristocrat. Confusion arises when other members of the theatrical company join in the impersonation. It ultimately emerges that the other aristocrat is a fake, while the actor really is secretly a peer.
