On the same train westward bound with the English nobleman, is "Gentleman" Jimmy Burke, a confidence man. The train is wrecked, and Burke, thinking Redvers killed, takes the Englishman's baggage and assumes his name. At Hicksville, the crook gets off the relief train to "work" the town, and Viscount Redvers is also left there by accident, in a weak and dazed condition. The leading family of Hicksville is the Folwells, consisting of Mr. and Mrs. Folwell and their two daughters, Heloise and Jane. Heloise is a social climber, while Jane is a regular girl. Folwell owns a lumber yard, and Jimmy Burke selects him as his victim. Jimmy poses as the Viscount Redvers, and Heloise is in raptures with knowing a real-for-sure English nobleman. In the meantime, Redvers cannot establish his identity. He is broke and has lost his baggage. Jimmy Burke involves Folwell in a scheme, and swindles him out of a check for $20,000. He then prepares to elope with Heloise, who still thinks him an English nobleman. Jane befriends Redvers. To humor him, Jane cables to England. Redvers discovers that an impostor is making use of his name. He battles with the crook, and prevents Jimmy's elopement with Heloise. Jane's cablegram brings the British consul to the rescue. Redvers is identified at last as the Viscount, and makes Jane the Countess of Redvers. See less
