On her father's advice, Patricia leaves her life as a chorus girl for the countryside surroundings of Silas Wainwright, an old friend of her father's. She immediately sides with Horace, a suitor to Wainwright's daughter Emily; and her efforts to disentangle Horace from his clinging vine, Maisie Morrison, the village vamp, result in the jealous concern of John Wainwright, a declared woman-hater. Seeing Patricia drag Horace from the vamp's bridal party, John mistakes the escape for an elopement and strikes Horace. In his fury Silas orders her back to Broadway, but John overrules his father; Horace and Emily are reunited; and Wainwright finally gives his blessing to both couples.—Pamela Short
