The course of true love is never straight at the Poor Relation Hotel. When Sir Philip brings home a vulgar mistress and Lady Carruthers tries to snag the handsome Earl her own daughter has set her sights on, it is up to the other Poor Relations to set things right.
The owners of the Poor Relation Hotel are busy once again. This time, Sir Philip Sommerville has installed a vulgar, grasping woman in the hotel, and his co-owners are frantic to remove her. At the same time, they decide they must help a young guest find a husband. These experienced schemers almost make and break the wrong matches, but greed is revealed, and love triumphs.
