As described in a film magazine review,[3] Dennis Shawn is the young manager of the western lumber holdings and lumber camp of an estate to which Marcia Livingston is heir. A railroad company wants the land, which is useless unless old Senorita Padrasso, owner of the adjacent tract, also sells. She consents to sell to the railroad provided that Dennis weds Marcia, whom he has never seen as she is in New York. He agrees and the couple are married by telephone. Kate Pinto, a half-breed who has always loved Dennis, rescues Dennis at the cost of her life. Marcia, who is a jazz-mad flapper, questions the legality of the marriage and whether they are still single, and refuses to honor the wedding. However, this is contrary to the land deal, which requires the married couple to live together for three months. She is kidnapped by her husband Dennis, who takes her back to the lumber camp, where she eventually learns to love him.
