Plot

As described in a film magazine, Prudence Fairfax (McAvoy) is the ward of Colonel Fairfax (Francis), a lovable old Southern gentleman who has remained single because of a misunderstanding, some fifteen years previous, with his next door neighbor and childhood sweetheart Constance Llewellyn (Williams). While staging a chariot race she had seen on a poster, Pru is thrown from a runaway horse into a stream running through the Llewellyn estate and is rescued by Constance. They become fast friends. When the Fairfax Manor is about to be sold for a debt, Pru buys it through her broker Robin which almost precipitates a duel. However, a happy ending ensues when the old romance between the Colonel and Constance is renewed, and Pru marries the Colonel's nephew Tom (Ferguson) instead of Dwight Neville (Tucker), who is arrested for counterfeiting.
