Synopsis
When American Octavia Bassett arrives in the serene old English village of Slowbridge to visit her Aunt Belinda, she scandalizes the town with her cowgirl mannerisms and willful spirit. Octavia's "barbaric" behavior affronts Lady Theobald, the town's arbiter of social matters, who is trying to marry her shy daughter Lucia to the brash Captain Barold. Upon learning that Lucia is secretly in love with Mr. Burmistone, the town mill owner whom Lady Theobald considers too plebian for her daughter, Octavia facilitates the two shy lovers' romance. Captain Barold then turns his attentions to Octavia, but she proves too much of a barbarian for his staid English nerves. The village of Slowbirdge is finally spared Octavia's unorthodox ideas when Jack Belasys, her estranged sweetheart from America, arrives to patch up their differences and take Octavia back home.

Notes
The film was produced by Pallas at the Morosco Studio. Pallas' name appeared on the film's titles, according to Paramount studio records, but not on advertisements, which appeared at approximately the time when Pallas was absorbed by Famous Players-Lasky Corp. Contemporary reviews spelled Jane Wolfe's name as Jane Wolff and Charlie Gerard's name as Charles Gerrard.
