Description
Comedy in 3 acts. Sherman Fessenden, unable to induce servants to remain at his Jersey home, hits upon the expedient of engaging detectives as domestics. His second wife, an actress, weary of the country, has succeeded in discouraging every other cook and butler against remaining long, believing that she will convince her husband that country life is dead. So she is deeply disappointed when she finds she cannot discourage the new servants. The sleuths, believing they are called to report on those living with the Fessendens, warn Fessenden that his wife has been receiving love notes from an actor friend, and that his daughter is planning to elope with a supposed thief. One sleuth causes an uproar making a mess of the situations he has witnessed. Fessenden, however, has learned a lesson and is willing to leave the servant problem to his wife.
