Mixed Matrimony (1917)

Eddie receives a letter from Frederick Gamble, the uncle and guardian of Edith Roberts, whom his late father desired him to marry, asking him to their house on Saturday to discuss the marriage, so he arranges for his valet, Lee, to impersonate him, while he goes as the valet. Edith persuades her uncle to allow her to play the part of the maid. They are mutually attracted, but each thinks the other a servant. The butler has left and Lee tells Eddie to assist Edith with the dinner. Lee has a terrible time with his oysters on the half shell. Jane is uncomfortable in the presence of her master and mistress. Eddie and Edith are getting along famously. Lee and Jane decide to elope and, slipping out a side door, are married at a church nearby and return and announce the event. Edith tells him she is the heiress and Lee and Jane fall in a faint. The aunt and uncle are delighted.
