Synopsis

Algy's parents send him away from England, as well as from his sweetheart Patricia, with orders to marry an American heiress and so restore the family fortune. On the steamship to the United States, Algy meets the perfect matrimonial candidate, Grace Dryker, and endears himself to her by recovering her stolen jewels. As thanks, Grace does the next best thing to marrying him: she has her sweetheart, a Wall Street broker, make an investment for Algy, through which he earns $50,000. Grace then brings Patricia to America, and Algy, having secured the family fortune without giving up his bachelor's status, marries her.
