He is called away on business, however, and carelessly leaves the letter lying on a table. Even while he is on the way to the station to answer a business call, a wire arrives, stating the young lady is on her way. The butler, finding the "fortune" letter, also gets the telegram, and decides to impersonate his master, and cop the heiress. The young lady arrives and the butler gets busy at once. He has figured without reckoning, however, for the cook, a lady of proportions, is deeply in love with him, and she promises to interfere with his love making. He dumps her into the coal bin with little ceremony. The chauffeur, finding the note, also gets "wise," and attempts to get the heiress for himself. A terrible mixup follows when the cook frees herself from the coal bin and proceeds to vent her wrath on the chauffeur, the butler and the wealthy young lady, as well. After various desperate combats, Jiggs arrives in time to save his affianced bride from a very embarrassing situation, and to kick his three faithless servants out into the cold world, where they land in a still colder water fountain, their ardor sadly dampened, and their longing for an heiress completely drowned.
