A young millionaire, whose hobby is mechanics, takes his newly overhauled car out for a trial spin, and he would have laughed had anybody told him that it was to be the most eventful trip of his life. For the young man was heart free, but impressionable, and when he saw a pretty young woman in the road, asking him to help her, he stopped and would have done so even had his time been really important. The young woman, with her aunt, was taking an auto trip too, and something went wrong with the engine. Her chauffeur was able to stop the car, but he could not start it again. All he could do was to poke the works of the machine with a chisel and remark that something seemed to be radically wrong. The millionaire rendered first aid to the injured auto by producing a long rope, and towing it to a nearby roadhouse. There he had time to investigate, and not being a professional chauffeur, he was able to get things right in a jiffy. The regular chauffeur was much grieved, and his sorrow increased when the aunt came out and chatted with him regarding his shortcomings. In a rage the chauffeur quit his job on the spot, leaving his passengers stranded far from home. What more natural than that the aunt should ask the young man to run her car? He looked like a chauffeur, and she thought he was a chauffeur. He didn't want the job, of course, but he did want to see more of the pretty girl. And like the aunt, he too had made a mistake. He thought the well born, well-to-do girl, a ladies' maid. The girl induced her aunt to let her carry on the deception, "just for a lark," and the maid and the chauffeur enjoyed the trip immensely. She learned how to run an automobile and he learned how to run an automobile and he learned that the most unfortunate men in the world were the blind ones who could not see the beautiful girl he gazed at so fondly. It was natural that he should ask the privilege of calling upon her, and it was natural that she should refuse, as the joke had gone far enough. But she accidentally learned who her chauffeur really was, and her heart was filled with gladness. For she found that he was a man worthy of her love. But he had been tricking her, so she decided to give him some of his own medicine. She allowed him to call, but received him in the kitchen, introduced the cook as her mother and in other ways tested his devotion. To her joy she found that his love for her could overlook and forgive all drawbacks, so in the end she revealed herself to him in her proper guise, and made him happy by agreeing to be his wife, and to motor through life by his side.
