On a vacation trip to Swank Springs, Mrs. Jarr and Mrs. Smith are outrageously snubbed by the petty aristocrats there; to get even they send for Gertrude the servant and pass her off as a Swedish Baroness. Gertie is received with open arms by the local "sassiety," particularly a Swedish Baron. At the Society Circus given by the members of the local "400," Gertrude confesses her real identity and the Baron admits that he is the real Baron's valet. Gertie becomes playful: disliking the trapeze performer's work, she jumps into the ring and shows the shocked audience some real acrobatics. Mrs. Jarr shrieks, scaring Gertie so much that she lets go of the trapeze and lands right in the kettledrum. The circus breaks up then and there.
