Synopsis

At his twenty-first birthday party, Stanley Warren learns that his inheritance has been stopped because of his spendthrift ways. According to his late uncle's will, to regain the fortune, Stanley must be stripped of all clothing, money, and food in the woods near his uncle's town, where, for a month, he must make an honest living without revealing his name. Orphan June Day, seeing Stanley covering himself with vines, brings him a blanket. Later, when Stanley is caught taking clothes from Judge Peabody's house, the judge's maiden sister, smitten with Stanley, persuades the judge to hire him as a servant. Stanley's identity is nearly revealed by the jealous suitor of his former fiancée, who left Stanley when he lost his fortune. Stanley then marries June, who has been expelled from her orphanage because of rumors spread by the judge's jealous sister, and reveals his true identity in the ceremony, thus losing the fortune. However, according to a codicil in the will, June now receives the money.
