Synopsis

Margie Dolan, a ticket agent in a steamship office, dreams of endless pleasure and adventures abroad, while her sweetheart, Dan Morley, a drugstore owner, is devoted to his business and his eventual marriage to Margie. When the horrors of commuting become unendurable, Margie suggests they take a honeymoon trip to Niagara Falls, but he is shocked at her extravagance; as she boards an ocean liner on a business errand, Margie decides to stowaway, and when discovered she is put to work in the linen room. Dunrock and Yvonne, an unscrupulous pair who plan to relieve Finch, an oil millionaire, of his fortune, hire Margie as a companion to Finch. On the Riviera, Yvonne becomes jealous of Dunrock's attentions to Margie, provoking a riot that culminates in the arrival of Dan, who promises the terrified Margie a fine honeymoon.
