At a houseparty, Jack Tanner, one of the guests, accidentally falls into a fountain, and to ward off a cold he gets drunk. While in this condition, he mistakes his room and enters the bathroom next to Julia Paddington's boudoir and goes to sleep in the bathtub. The next morning Mrs. Paddington insists that he has compromised her daughter's reputation beyond repair unless he marries her. Julia accepts though engaged to Bradley.

Notes

" ... every member of an excellent supporting cast can be said to contribute heavily to the picture's success. The names of the latter are not shown on the screen, possibly because it was intended to keep only the two principals in the limelight; if so, a rank injustice has been inflicted on the other players ... ." (Exhibitor's Trade Review, 29 April 1922.)
