As described in a film magazine,[4] Mirandy's mother Mrs. Judkins (Kelso) "takes in" laundry and Mirandy Judkins (Martin) scrubs the floors of the town opera house. Teddy Lawrence (MacLean), who plays the piano at the theater, is also organist at St. Mark's church. Mirandy upon Teddy's invitation attends church services and meets Rose White (Gennung), who is in love with the minister. Mirandy is given the work of laundering the surplices and is entrusted with a note to the minister pinned to one of the frocks. The not falls out, however, and is not delivered until the minister is called to marry the Boarder (Freeman) to Annie May (Beech). Mirandy and Teddy come to an understanding and manage to smile through their trials and tribulations.
