A rich but hypochondriacal heiress tries to hide from her uncle in a
sanitarium. What she doesn’t know is that it is a front for
bootleggers, and a hideout for criminals on the run from the law.
Rather like Colleen Moore, Bebe Daniels’ approach to comedy was
based on situation, whimsy, and understated wit expressed in the
intertitles; there is little in the way of slapstick in her work.
