Plot
Based upon a summary in a film publication,[5] Teddy Simpson is a wealthy young orphan who, instead of marrying Rob Winslow, whom her Aunty Weeks has selected for her, is bent upon getting into trouble by seeking adventure and through her flirtatious ways. Rob's friends, victims of her telephone flirtations, offer to help him cure her. Part of the cure involves Teddy taking a ride with Tom Hazzard to an exclusive gun club, with the other conspirators making things so warm for her that she is cured for all time. When Rob calls her the next day, he finds her ready to consent to a speedy wedding.
