Peter kidnaps Patricia to prevent her from marrying the wrong man.

Peter Rosslyn, a sturdy gentleman yachtsman in love with irresponsible and vivacious Patricia Van Felt, does not propose to her in the hope that with time she will mature. When Peter learns, however, that she is planning to marry Templeton Arnold, a fortune hunter, he arranges for her to be brought aboard his yacht, where he impersonates Arnold by swathing his head in bandages. A minister is brought on board, and Patricia marries Peter, still thinking him to be Arnold. Peter sets sail, taking off his bandages in private. Patricia is stunned to see him, believing herself to have been kidnapped; she tries to escape in a rowboat but is brought back to the yacht by its Chinese crew. She becomes ill and learns from her nurse that she is really married to Peter. When she recovers, she and Peter are reconciled and begin married life in earnest.—AFI
