As described in a film magazine review, [3] Lita's parents are the victims of a divorce due to incompatibility and each want her to accompany them to Europe or Nevada. Lita, however, learns from the young Doctor Dacer, who seems interested in Lisa, that her parents are still in love with each other. She takes the blame of a girl friend at the boarding school, who is believed to have had an affair with "movie sheik" actor Maurice Mansfield, and is expelled. Her parents become so interested in her welfare that now have a mutual interest and become reconciled. The parents then learn that Lita was expelled for an other young woman's mischief.
