He doesn't appreciate Emeline Black, his housekeeper, whom he discharges in a fit of anger. Emeline, knowing better what is good for old Gloom than he does himself, enlists the aid of Grimes, the employment agent, in curing the grouchy Gordon. First, in response to Gordon's hurry call for a new cook, Emeline, disguised in an eccentric make-up, reports to her ex-employer. She succeeds in wrecking the establishment and getting fired. Then Gordon demands a colored cook. Emeline persuades a huge negro gentleman to masquerade in this part, and when the new servant, to the indignation of Gloom, has filled the house with her own cronies that evening, a battle ensues in which the master barely escapes with his life. Emeline comes to his rescue. Gloom falls on his knees, declares she has saved him from the coons, declares himself a tamed grouch and implores her to marry him.
