Le major Rayne, Nanette et "Pinkie" Pinkerton sont des locataires de Dame Beatrice, une vieille philanthrope. Ils s'ennuient. Lily, la jolie gouvernante de Dame Beatrice, entend malgré elle une dispute entre leurs voisins, les Spanager. Lorsque Mme Spanager refuse le cadeau de son mari, un manteau de vison, car il ment à propos de ses voyages d'affaires, il fait semblant de le jeter dehors par le balcon, mais en fait le cache dans leur appartement. Lily s'en empare et le donne à son employeur pour lui montrer sa gratitude de l'avoir engagée malgré son casier judiciaire. Dame Beatrice, d'abord contente, pense que Lily l'a volé. Avec ses locataires, elle concocte un plan pour remettre la fourrure à sa place avant que le propriétaire s'en aperçoive. Le "gang" y arrive grâce aux conseils du major en retraite. Les quatre sont si heureux de leur escapade qu'ils décident de voler d'autres fourrures, leur butin étant destiné à des œuvres de charité. C'est le propre neveu de Dame Beatrice, Freddie, qui va se révéler être leur receleur.
