Directed by George Marshall, A third-rate American actor pretends to be a British gentleman’s gentleman and is hired by a social-climing, nouveau-riche, American heiress to impress her high-society English acquaintances who then takes him back to her ranch in New Mexico. Though there are many close calls, the butler manages to convince the wild and woolly westerners that he’s a genuine British Lord–even pulling the wool over the eyes of visiting celebrity Teddy Roosevelt.
