Summary: Agatha Kent inherits a southern mansion from her maiden aunt Agatha. When she advertises for boarders, young Burton Forbes, who is blind and alone in the world, recalls his visits to Aunt Agatha as a boy and answers the advertisement. Disguised as her aunt, she welcomes her guest, who is distressed over a broken engagement. His gratitude for her kindness ripens into love, which she returns, but he does not disclose that he has seen through her deception. A lucky turn on the stock market results in the repair of his fortune, but when his former fiancée seeks him out he turns her down for Agatha.
