Ellen McNulty sells her New Jersey hamburger stand and heads west to pay a surprise visit
to her son and his new bride. When Ellen arrives, her daughter-in-law mistakes her for the
maid she has hired for a big party her husband is throwing to impress his boss. Rather than
cause any embarrassment, Ellen goes along with the charade, which leads to many
complications.
