A British actor attempts to impress two visiting American women, Efflie Floud and her tomboyish daughter Agatha, by asking the cast of his drawing-room comedy to pose as his aristocratic family. Effie persuades the butler character, Humphrey, really a struggling American actor named Arthur Tyler, to accompany them to the United States and help to refine her husband and daughter. She sends a telegram home referring to the person whom she believes is Humphrey as a "gentleman's gentleman", which the rural western townfolk misunderstand as meaning that he is an aristocrat and presumably Agatha's future husband. Arthur must now pretend to the family that he is the British butler while pretending to the rest of the town, and the visiting President Theodore Roosevelt, that he is a politically savvy Englishman. The deception is eventually uncovered, and the actor and the family's daughter gradually fall in love.
