Synopsis
James Jefferson Lee, a wealthy, idle, adventure-loving young Long Islander, begins a beautiful friendship with Jane when he accepts her dare to jump with her from the roof of the Yacht Club into the sparkling sound below. Displeased with Jimmy's shiftless ways, however, Jane prods him into devoting some time to his business interests, especially the All-American Tire Co., of which his rival, stodgy Harold Polk, is general manager. Jimmy's unconventional methods result in resignations by all the company's executives, but he manfully steers the business to financial success and, meanwhile, rides a dangerous horse--thereby silencing those who scoffed at him and winning Jane's heart.
