Synopsis

As described in a film magazine, Joan Ludlow (Talmadge) is living with her grandparents, a grouchy old couple, when a young man, Martin Grey (Ford), moves next door. After the grandparents discover that they have been having secretly meetings for happy and harmless fun, Joan receives such a scolding that she goes over to Martin's and asks him to take her to her friend Alice Palgrave (Randolph), who lives in the city. Upon arrival at the Palgrave residence they discover Alice is not there, and Martin offers to marry Joan to resolve the situation. Pleased with the arrangement, Joan accepts, and after the ceremony they live in Martin's city residence, where he continues to respect her extreme innocence and maidenly existence. Martin spends time at the club while Joan is free to attend several wild parties and conducts what she supposes is an innocent flirtation with Alice's husband Gilbert (MacDonald). Toodles (Anderson), a chorus girl from the club, tempts Martin on his yacht, but he knows how to resist. However, when Joan discovers that Toodles is visiting her husband at the country home, she flirts harder with Gilbert Palgrave. Gilbert, who is suffering from a medical condition ("brain fever"), gets Joan alone one night in a seaside cottage, and threatens to shoot himself unless she consents to his desires. Martin arrives in time to save the day, with Joan discovering her love for Martin and Martin taking her back as his wife.

The film opens with the outbreak of a war in the previously peaceful kingdom of Wredpryd. Count Ferdinand is the inventor of a new submarine who is assigned to command the new ship in battle. The King of Wredpryd orders the Count to sink the "ProPatria" ("for my country"), a civilian ship that is believed to be carrying munitions as well as civilian passengers. In his mind's eye, the Count sees a vision of what would happen if he sent a torpedo crashing into the liner, and he recoils. He refuses to follow his orders, saying he is "obeying orders -- from a Higher Power." Realizing his crew will carry out the orders, the Count fights with the crew and blows up his submarine, sending it to the bottom of the sea.
