Undaunted, Berenice says that she is Cleverley's wife, and that Alice simply had been visiting. Going from hostile to hospitable, the Altwolds then insist that Berenice and Cleverley stay with them. Cleverley is unable to argue his way out of the situation, and both he and Berenice are embarrassed at having to spend the night together.

- Berenice Somers, a pupil at Miss Perkins' School for Young Ladies, so impresses the George Washington Truth Society with her truthfulness that she is presented with a medal for her veracity. As a matter of fact, she is a frightful little fibber, as her school friend Alice Altwold can testify. Berenice is engaged to Paul Carroll, who is not known to any of the Altwold family except Alice. Carroll invites the two girls to meet him and go to a matinee. They accept, Berenice telling Miss Perkins that they are going to the Marblend Hotel to meet Mr. and Mrs. Gardner. But Miss Perkins accompanies them to the hotel and they are forced to pass Carroll in the lobby without recognizing him, and finally flee into Room 72 in a blind effort to dodge Miss Perkins. But Room 72 is occupied by Cleverly Trafton, a young diplomat, who is about to be sent abroad on a secret mission. Astounded at the sudden arrival of two strange girls in his room, Trafton is told of their predicament. A few moments later, Mr. and Mrs. Altwold encounter Miss Perkins in the lobby of the hotel and are told of their daughter's presence in the Gardner apartment. Rushing upstairs to find her, they discover her in the presence of Trafton and Berenice. The latter promptly introduces herself and the stranger as Mr. and Mrs. Gardner in order to save the situation. Alice is taken home by her parents and Berenice accompanies them. Trafton's diplomatic complications force him to consult Mr. Altwold, who is an international lawyer, and he goes to his home. Berenice, meanwhile, has accounted for the absence of her "husband" by saying that he has been called abroad suddenly. When Trafton arrives at the Altwold home there is a scene, but he declares that his real name is Gardner, the name Trafton being used in secret diplomatic work. When it comes time for them to retire, Berenice and Trafton are frightfully embarrassed by the efforts of their hostess to place them in the same room. After many complications, Berenice succeeds in getting into Alice's room for the night, and Trafton retires on a balcony. Matters are still further complicated by the arrival of Carroll, who is engaged to Berenice and his jealousy when he discovers her trying to be affectionate to Trafton. Meanwhile Trafton and Alice are becoming interested in each other and the betrayal of this fact leads to still deeper complications. Finally, in order to save her host and hostess from dying of apoplexy, Berenice persuades her three friends to tell the truth, and decides to forfeit all claims to the truth medal which has helped her over many serious difficulties in the past.—Moving Picture World synopsis
