Lucretia "Crete" Ward lives with her sister Carrie and niece Luella, both of whom are very selfish and treat her like a slave. Upon learning that Donald, the son of their now-deceased older sister, is coming to visit from out west, Carrie and Luella fear what others will think of them if they are seen with a "backwoods cousin" and leave for a resort. Donald is actually well-educated and rich, and pays for some pampering for Aunt Crete. When the two travel to the resort, it sets off a series of surprises.
