Sally is a new girl at the Cort's, who do not know that she has an ambition to go on the stage. When she studies her part in the kitchen, Mrs. Cort comes to the conclusion that Sally is crazy and is made nervous. Meantime Sally finds the butcher knife too dull to cut the bread, and goes to ask her mistress that it be sharpened. Mrs. Cort is certain that she is to be killed and faints. Sally, all excitement, runs for the doctor, forgetting to put down the knife. The doctor thinks she is crazy and telephones the police. The reserves come and cart her off to the station-house, where Terrance, her policeman sweetheart, offers explanation, and Sally is turned loose. Sally has a bad case of "stage struck," but Terrance will try to cure her.
