Plot

As described in a film magazine review,[3] St. Clair Van Tassel, a wealthy orphan who as a child had her every wish granted, develops into a beautiful but extremely bad tempered young woman who is wooed by many and loved by at least one. She breaks engagements with three men, but meets a different type of man in the fourth. When she attempts to break her engagement with him, he holds her captive in a cabin. She escapes, and, in pursuing her, the man is hurt. She goes to the hospital to see him, and there she becomes aware that her love for him has overcome her blazing temper.
