All that glitters may not be gold, but Molly Moore, "steno" to Charles Adams, certainly does glitter as if she had gold when she appears at Lakewood. After winning $1,000 in a scenario contest, Molly decides to have a good time. With the aid of a blonde wig, the makeup box, and some swell clothes, she makes a noise like an heiress and gets away with it. Her boss comes to Lakewood and fails to recognize her in her finery. When the boss' fiancée becomes infatuated with a count and returns his engagement ring, Molly tries to console him and he becomes interested in her. Later, Molly exposes the count as a waiter and he does as much for her by removing her wig and "showing her up." Back in the office once more, Adams sees that Molly has supplanted his former fiancée in his affections and she gladly accepts a second-hand engagement ring.
