The original play's French locale was changed to New England, where Celia Laird resides with her two overprotective aunts. When artist Frazer Ordway arrives in town, he falls in love with Celia -- much to the dismay of the aunts, who'd intended the girl to marry a local millionaire.
Weary of the straitlaced surroundings of her New England coastal village, Celia Laird is thrilled when dashing New York City artist Frazer Ordway vacations in Cliff Haven for his health. Celia's frequent meetings with Frazer prompt her two maiden aunts, Harriet and Rachel Farnum, to arrange a marriage with Obediah Daw, a wealthy though foppish man whom the aunts consider an ideal match for their niece. Realizing that the pretty and high-spirited girl is distracting him from thoughts of his fiancée, Adriana Peroni, Frazer decides to return to New York City. Halfway there, he finds Celia hiding in the back seat of his car and promptly puts her on a train for home. However, Celia is determined to escape a union with Obediah and secretly boards a train to the city instead. Frazer later enters his home to find Celia in his easy chair. When Adriana learns of Celia's presence, she ends the engagement, ultimately finding happiness with Dr. Walter Grierson. Celia's aunts arrive with police to arrest Frazer for kidnapping, then discover that the happy couple is about to depart on their honeymoon.
