Wealthy society girl with an unmanageable temper, St. Clair Van Tassel, has broken numerous engagements because of her disposition and decides to retire to the country. On the way, she stalls her car in a stream and is aided by Larry Gastlen. Their friendship soon develops into love. Larry sails for Cuba on his yacht, having refused to allow St. Clair to accompany him; and when she is discovered to be a stowaway, he turns back to New York. She contrives to throw the yacht off course, and when they encounter a gale, the boat is battered and St. Clair is forced to substitute for an injured stoker. Reaching port, St. Clair departs for her hunting lodge in the Catskills, where Larry follows. Trying to catch her, Larry is hurt in a fall from his horse. At the hospital, St. Clair realizes that love has at last conquered her temper.
