Synopsis
Impulsive Carey Brent disgusts her family's chauffeur, who quits after dumping a carload of her six joy-riding friends into a brook. Escaped convict Harry the Duke lays glass on a road, and after knocking out Paul Sayre, who stopped to fix a flat, exchanges clothes with him. When Carey's tire is punctured and Paul helps her, she impulsively offers him a position as her chauffeur so she can reform him, thinking that he is the publicized burglar. Although attracted to him, Carey resists Paul's advances because of her concern over her stepmother Pamela's involvement with Ralph Steward, a society idler. In order to protect her father, Carey flirts with Seward, and, learning that Seward has incriminating letters written long ago by Pamela, Carey goes to his apartments, where Paul rescues her and thrashes Seward. When Harry the Duke is recaptured, Paul confesses he is only a broker who impulsively accepted Pamela's offer to be near her. In love, she forgives him.
