Servant girl Betsy McBride thinks she has as much right as any girl to Tom Brodie, the most dashing young man in the district. When her master asks her to help out the Brodie family she jumps at the chance to get a bit closer to him. She doesn't realize that Tom Brodie thinks the only way to save his family's fortune - or at least their farm - is to dazzle his landlord's daughter. There is heartbreak on the horizon unless Tom's down-to-earth brother Henry can catch Betsy's attention.
