Lucien Kendall travels to Cornwall to meet his new ward, Francine Fitz Hugh, who has been described as willful and incorrigible by her governess. When he comes across a young woman rummaging through the pockets of an unconscious man at a ramshackle inn, Lucien doesn't realize that the fascinating urchin he finds so attractive is actually his ward. Fancy, who doesn't want a guardian controlling her life, hides her real identity when Lucien arrives at her estate, having a friend assume her identity while pretending that she is a lady's maid. But while Lucien wouldn't dream of touching a young lady, especially one who happens to be his ward, a lady's maid is fair game!
