Beatrice Lillie works as a maid for a traveling theater show. She finally gets an opportunity on stage when the leading lady doesn't show up for a performance. This leads to more parts as a substitute, often with hilarious results. Her stint as a man is one of the best scenes in the film. She gets a part for a struggling actor in a run down town, then falls in love with him. Their budding romance is a mild diversion, but ultimately it's all about the comedy of Lillie, which works more times than not.
