Synopsis

Mr. and Mrs. Hazlitt believe themselves to be victims of incompatability and begin divorce proceedings. This separation weighs heavily on their daughter, Lita, who is sent back to boarding school when she refuses to live with either of her parents. While there, she learns that parents can only be reunited by a common concern for the welfare of their children. Lita is expelled when she assumes the blame for a romantic letter written by her sentimental roommate to a vain movie star; she decides to use this as a means to reunite her parents and goes to find the movie star on location. Lita's resulting expulsion from school brings her parents together, and she decides to cause them concern once more by running away. She innocently spends the night in the apartment of Dr. Dacer, a young surgeon who has caught her fancy. While Lita comfortably sleeps unnoticed in an easy chair in the doctor's office, her parents spend the night in pacing and recrimination. Lita returns home in the morning, reunites her parents, and wins for herself the affections of the doctor.
