- The Daingerfields, an aristocratic but impoverished Virginia family, are financially strapped when the father of the family must undergo an operation in New York to save his life. Randolph Weeks, whose love for Claudia Daingerfield is not returned, tells her that a wealthy Northerner, Burton Crane, wants to lease the Daingerfield home for $3000, on the condition that the negro servants be replaced by white servants. So the Daingerfields then take on the role of servants in the house, without revealing their identities. Claudia Dangerfield assumes the position of cook, while her sister takes the job as maid. One brother takes over as butler, while the other brother becomes a "useful boy around the house." Claudia is secretly helped by Mammy Jackson, her real cook. Crane arrives with his lawyer, Solon Tucker, and Mrs. Faulkner, brother of Tucker, and Faulkner's daughter Cora. Mrs. Faulkner encourages Cora to land Crane. When Crane meets his new "cook," Claudia, he instantly falls in love with her. Claudia smuggles Mammy Jackson, her real cook, into the home to do the cooking. But Crane suspects Claudia is actually concealing a sweetheart. The servants, under the watchful eye of Mrs. Faulkner, get into all sorts of trouble. At a dinner given by Crane for his friends, Claudia learns that her parents are coming home, and forgets to serve the meals. Crane finds her in the kitchen and confesses his love for her, whereupon Claudia confesses the truth about her identity. Crane leads Claudia "out of the kitchen" and takes her to his palatial home.The Daingerfields, an aristocratic but impoverished Virginia family, are financially strapped when the father of the family must undergo an operation in New York to save his life.
