Elinor Kershaw fears she is losing husband Arthur Johnson's love; he is distracted with his correspondence and preparing a for a problem. She writes of her fears to her friend Dorothy Bernard. Miss Bernard decides the way to regain Johnson's attention is to dress as a man and make love to Miss Kershaw. When this results in a duel, she is nonplussed.
D. W. Griffith is not remembered as a director of comedies, but he directed a fair number of them among his more than 500 movies. This one is pretty amusing, and the ladies look quite lovely in their 18th Century duds. Miss Bernard is quite lively, and Guy Hedlund is funny as a dull-witted footman.
There's also a large cast of the Biograph regulars, including Dell Henderson, Arthur O'Sullivan, Mack Sennet, and Florence La Badie, who would become a major star at Thanhouser before her untimely death in 1917.
