Synopsis
Famous playwright Paul Worden takes a country bungalow to write a new work and rehearse with Marjorie Sinclair, his leading actress, who is staying nearby. When riding one day, Paul helps his neighbor, Diana Ardway, the spoiled teenage daughter of a steel magnate, when her horse gets the better of her. Diana, at first insulted by Paul's interference, develops a passionate interest in him, leading her to spy on him, provoke a hair-pulling fight with Marjorie, and destroy one of Paul's rooms after he treats her like a child. When Paul wires his brother Tad, known for his successes with women, to relieve him of Diana's attentions, she rejects Tad. Knowing that her father will return soon from Europe, Diana gives the Associated Press an announcement of her engagement to Paul and kidnaps him to make it appear that he compromised her. After her father returns, Paul, thoroughly beaten, realizes his love for her and accepts his fate.

Notes
The title of this film was changed from Diana Ardway. A few scenes were directed by John H. Collins, who was Viola Dana's husband, before a four week shutdown of production due to the influenza epidemic of 1918. After an illness of less than a week, Collins, cited by Moving Picture World as "probably the youngest director of note in the country," died of pneumonia in New York. Reviews and contemporary news items credit Collins as scenarist, while the synopsis included in the copyright descriptions has Collins' name crossed out and replaced by that of June Mathis.
