Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Mandy’s mamma determines her daughter shall marry one of the nobility. When Harry, Mandy's movie actor sweetheart, comes to woo her he finds he is decidedly “in wrong” with mamma. He leaves with all hope apparently gone. Returning to work, Harry finds his director in a rage because of his non-appearance in an important scene. For this he is “canned.” The Go-Broke Hotel lacks guests, and its manager is in despair until he happens to witness Harry’s distressing dismissal from his company. The manager hits on a great scheme to promote business for his hotel. Harry is a party to his plan. The next day the newspapers announce the arrival of the wealthy Count de Monnie Roll at the Go-Broke Hotel. He is traveling in search of a suitable wife. All marriageable women from far and near flock to the hotel. Business thrives. Mandy’s mother reads the glad news and immediately bundles her daughter off to be recruit for the favor of the wealthy Count. Harry is not recognized by Mandy and mamma. He recognizes them and decides to take advantage of the situation. He proclaims Mandy as the choice of his heart, much to the disgust of this young lady, who leads him to a merry chase. Mamma, however, determines not to allow such a catch slip by. She forces the unwilling girl to marry the supposed Count. After the marriage, Mandy discovers Harry’s deception. All is then glorious joy for this happy pair, and mamma finds she must make the best of the situation.
