Ellen Neal, a beautiful and upstanding girl of seventeen, arrives at the Winfield home to take a job as a maid, her first foray into the domestic profession. Ellen quickly receives a promotion to Mrs. Winfield's personal maid, and when Dick Winfield arrives home from college, he falls in love with the graceful and charming Ellen. At the family's vacation home in Maine, Dick asks Ellen out on a date, but Ellen refuses on the grounds that the two are not social equals. Dick finally convinces Ellen that her ideas about social class are old-fashioned, and she begins to fall in love with her employers' son. They eventually secretly marry before he departs to finish his senior year at college. Wroxton, the Winfield's manipulative and calculating butler, confesses to Ellen that he is obsessed with her and wants to marry her, but she informs him that she loves another.
