Plot

edit

Wealthy businessman Godfrey Jackson struggles to manage his spirited daughter, Dorothy, after the loss of her mother. In his absence, he entrusts Harley Norcross, a young lawyer from his firm, with her guardianship. When Dorothy overhears Norcross making a disparaging comment about her, she becomes determined to retaliate. Norcross imposes strict rules on Dorothy, including restrictions on driving, attending dances, and seeing her suitor, William. Despite his efforts, Dorothy defies these rules, and over time, both she and Norcross develop romantic feelings for each other. Dorothy persuades Norcross to join her in a car ride, which culminates in a thrilling crash. In a vulnerable moment, Dorothy confesses her love to Norcross, believing him to be unconscious. Eventually, the two reconcile and find love together.
