Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Milly, the maid, about to leave for the country with her employers, is bidding her best beau (a stunning policeman) a long good-bye when her master suddenly comes in upon them. The frightened maid hustles her beau into her trunk. The trunk is locked and carried off by the expressmen before she can liberate her loved one and he makes the trip to Villa Butter-cup without incident. When he arrives here the maid can hardly wait until she gets the trunk open, but just as she is unstrapping it two burglars enter the room and, pushing her aside, unlock the trunk themselves, hoping to find something of value, which they do, but not of the kind they expected, for out jumps the imprisoned officer of the law as fresh as paint after his journey and arrests the robbers without further parley. The maid gets nothing but words of praise from her employers for her thoughtfulness in bringing a policeman in her trunk along with other useful articles.
