Synopsis
Polly Marsden, the daughter of wealthy cotton broker Buck Marsden, is loved by three men: Talbot Sturgis, Larry O'Malley and O'Leary. She becomes engaged to all three, and when her father orders her to make a final decision, she declares that the first suitor to overtake and capture her in her racing car will be her husband. In the course of eluding her pursuers, Polly exchanges clothing with her maid and abandons her car for a boat. Her actions attract the attention both of Emile Kremer, a German spy who has been ordered to deliver a set of documents to a beautiful accomplice, and Colby Mason, a United States Secret Service Agent. After a series of adventures involving the three suitors and a gang of spies, Mason arrests Polly, but her father soon arrives to clear her name. Because Mason was the first to "capture" her, Polly declares that she will marry him, and he willingly complies.
