Synopsis
Angela, a lovely young woman of eighteen, lives with her grandmother in Virginia but knows very little about her mother, Lady Eldone, who after the death of Angela's father, moved to Europe and married an English army captain. When Captain Eldone is reported dead, Lady Eldone returns to the United States determined to marry a wealthy man. Angela decides to surprise her mother with a visit, but Lady Eldone reacts with distress, fearing that Angela's presence will reveal her true age to the man she hopes to marry, Howard Grey. Consequently, Angela is forced to dress as a child, and when Howard, to whom she is greatly attracted, presents her with a doll, she resolves to leave the house. That night, she discovers Rose Marie, her mother's maid, opening the safe and has her arrested. Just then, Captain Eldone arrives, which greatly pleases Lady Eldone and leaves Howard free to court the woman he really loves, Angela.
