The story

A British actor attempts to impress two visiting American women, Efflie Floud and her tomboyish daughter Agatha, by asking the cast of his drawing-room comedy to pose as his aristocratic family. Effie persuades the butler character, Humphrey, really a struggling American actor named Arthur Tyler, to accompany them to the United States and help to refine her husband and daughter. She sends a telegram home referring to the person whom she believes is Humphrey as a "gentleman's gentleman", which the rural western townfolk misunderstand as meaning that he is an aristocrat and presumably Agatha's future husband.
