Synopsis
[The following plot summary is based on the English-language version of this film, Going Wild ; character names refer to that version.] A series of coincidences (Rollo Smith's and Jack Lane's stowing away in Robert Story's compartment for lack of train fare, Peggy's efforts to vamp Story, and May Bunch's determination to make Story "do right" by her sister) result in Rollo's being mistaken for Story, a famous aviator. Pleased with the admiration he receives, Rollo accepts the situation and finds himself involved in an air race and a $25,000 wager with Ace Benton. Peggy substitutes herself for the mechanic who was to help Rollo fly the plane, and the pair drive Benton out of the sky with their wild gyrations. Unable to land, Peggy accidentally pulls the parachute ring, and they safely float to earth while Rollo proposes.
