- The hotel chambermaid, who bears a striking resemblance to the beautiful Countess Troubleskoy, envies her very much and wishes she could wear that lady's dresses if only for one night. She is prompted to this desire by her love for Mr. Oscar Yeppenger, who has refused to even look at the chambermaid. The Countess is really a female Raffles and the head of a band of pickpockets who immediately deposit their ill-gotten gains with her. The Countess conceives a great idea for getting more loot by giving a ball at the fashionable hotel at which she is stopping, but unfortunately for the Countess an old flame who is very jealous follows her to her room and after a short quarrel strangles her and leaves her alone. This is witnessed by the chambermaid who on finding that the Countess is in a faint, appropriates her clothes and attends the ball. She is mistaken for the Countess and Mr. Oscar is having the time of his life until the crooks begin to deposit their stolen loot with the chambermaid, who, thinking to gain the favor of Oscar, in turn gives them to him. The crooks, seeing this, start trouble for Oscar and they in turn are joined by the desperate Baron, who makes matters still more unpleasant by throwing a few bombs among the guests. At the end the hotel is wrecked and the chambermaid repents that she ever tried to wear borrowed finery.—Moving Picture World synopsis
