Plot

As described in a review in a film magazine, [2] Connemara Moore (Prevost) has two suitors. One likes bobbed hair, the other does not. In escaping from both she enters the car of David Lacy (Harlan), a stranger, which proves to have been stolen from bootleggers and is swept into a succession of situations including an attack by hijackers, a fight in a private yacht, and rescue by David – who takes Connemara to his home. Eventually it turns out that David was looking for adventure and Connemara has become enmeshed in a trap set by revenue officers. When the time for a show-down comes, she has only one side of her hair bobbed, and this means she has chosen David.
