She meets Jack Warring, a handsome young soldier, who tells her he is Lieutenant Halt, stationed at Fort Henry. She poses as "Miss Moneytoburn" and they are mutually charmed. The next day she calls at the Fort to see "Lieutenant," but is informed by Captain Mars there is no such person there, Jack being in reality only a private. Captain Mars, who is smitten with "Miss Moneytoburn," sends Jack with some flowers to Marie, but Jack presents them as his own gift. Hearing the Captain coming, he hides behind a screen. While urging his suit to the demure Marie, Mars hears a suspicious noise, and pushes the screen aside just in time to recognize Jack as he dives through the window. He angrily tells Marie that "Lieutenant Halt" is plain Jack Warring, a private in his own company. She refuses to believe it. Arrived at the barracks, the Captain is about to send Jack to the guardhouse when he learns that the young man has inherited a large fortune and instead, extends his hearty congratulations. When Jack calls later on "Miss Moneytoburn," Marie tearfully explains that she is only Marie, the maid. He laughingly confesses his own deception, adding that he has inherited a fortune and wants to marry her at once. At the conclusion of the ceremony the real Mrs. and Miss Moneytoburn arrive. They haughtily demand an explanation and Jack introduces himself and his bride. On learning their former maid has married a fortune the ladies decide that makes a difference. It is now a case of "Welcome Marie." She has a seat now in their social exchange. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
