Plot
As described in a film magazine,[3] after breaking every rule in the Bredwell Seminary, Ann Wharton (Pennington) is dismissed. Seeking to beat the notification of her dismissal to her father, she runs away from school that night. She goes to sleep in a row boat and is awakened the next morning when her craft bumps a railroad bridge. After meeting Tom Randall (Ham), with whom she has formed a friendship, he takes her home where her father (Carleton) finds them, having been appraised by the seminary principal who hinted at an elopement. Ann is then taken to a winter resort where her father and sister Olive (Hawley) are staying. Here Tom finds her again. She breaks up an elopement of her sister and a fortune hunter by going to the latter's room and staying there until the time for the tryst has passed. Accused of compromising herself by her father, she goes to Tom's apartment and demands that he marry her, which he does. The couple receive the blessing of her father.
