Father's New Maid (1915)

Mr. Grouch has a decided antipathy for young men who call on his daughter. He shows it by ejecting all visitors. But the daughter is so popular that he finds the labor too great for a small man and determines to hire a big Swedish maid to do the heavy work of removing callers. Jack, the favored suitor, sees Mr. Grouch's ad in the paper, and, disguising himself as a maid, applies for the job and is given it. The new maid performs her duties with such skill that Mr. Grouch is smitten and proposes marriage. Daughter catches her parent on his bended knees and threatens him with publicity unless he gives his consent to her marriage with Jack. He gives it and when last seen is waiting for his Swedish maid to come back to him.
