Synopsis
Willful Emily Delmar steals off to a club dance one night and discovering that she has left her door key at home, decides to spend the evening at suitor Richard Trotter's apartment. When Trotter arrives home and learns what has happened, he starts to take Emily to her Aunt Geraldine's house. Along the way, they stop for dinner at the beach and Emily, determined to stay overnight and have a swim, bribes the waiter to hide her dog and then refuses to leave until she finds him. When Herbert Threadgold, another of Emily's admirers, and Aunt Geraldine stop at the hotel and discover Emily with Trotter, the elements of a scandal are brewing until a policeman arrives and arrests the whole party for having assisted in Emily's abduction. Eventually everything is explained and Emily decides that she loves Trotter.
