Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Sam and Frank Grant, two motherless boys, are caught playing hooky and are taken to court by the truant officer. The judge, after soundly lecturing the father for allowing the boys to do the housework, orders the boys to get a housekeeper. After viewing a number of applicants at an employment agency, they find an attractive Swedish girl who consents to take the place. She immediately begins to boss things about the house and arouses the ire of the father. The boys, fearing that they will lose her, consult a friend, Flora Walker, and with her help they outline a campaign whereby they may be able to save her to the family. Their scheme is successful, so much so that their father falls in love with her, eventually marrying her and settling the housekeeper problem indefinitely.
