Synopsis
Buddy Long, the beautiful daughter of a newspaper publisher who is conducting an antispeeding campaign, is arrested for speeding and, giving the assumed name of Mary Jones, is paroled into the custody of Assistant District Attorney Darrow. The county vs. "Mary Jones" becomes a test case, and Colonel Long, Buddy's father, goes to Darrow's apartment unexpectedly one evening to meet the girl. Buddy and Darrow learn he is coming, and Buddy escapes by a window; Darrow persuades a dimwitted slavey to impersonate "Mary Jones," and Colonel Long, none the wiser, decides that the girl is a mental case. Buddy and Darrow fall in love and receive her father's permission to be married, never letting on that "Mary Jones" and Buddy are one and the same.
