Synopsis

Traveling saleswoman Mary Marbury thrashes a masher on a train when he tries to kiss a young girl in a tunnel. After he and his woman companion are escorted off, Mary meets them in New York attempting to marry the children of her wealthy employer, Jonas Abbott, and pose as cubist art instructors Fernando Poyntier and his sister Marcia. Because Abbott worries that his son Raymond, whom Mary loves, is living frivolously, Mary plots with him to make Raymond jealous by appearing to be an adventuress leading Abbott astray. When the crooks see that the Abbott fortune could go to Mary instead of to them, they rob Abbott's safe and hide the money on his yacht on which they plan to escape. After Mary and Abbott, exhausted from dancing the fox-trot, rest on the yacht, she discovers the money. When the crooks are captured, Raymond, realizing his love for Mary, proposes.
