Plot
As described in a film magazine, Prudence Cole, a young Quaker woman, has been raised by her two severe maiden aunts, Elizabeth and Cynthia Whitney. She is permitted to visit the Garrisons, the mother and her grown son Henry, at an ultra fashionable resort, where her precise mannerisms make her the center of amused attention. Henry, whom she had hoped to marry, all but ignores her. Artist and thinker Cheyne Rovein senses the young woman's position and selects her for the leading role in elaborate charades which he stages, designing costumes and coaching her as to conduct. On this night she outshines her critics, wins the admiration of the men and the enmity of the women, and the dallying Henry returns to pay her court. The following morning she refuses him and promises to marry Cheyne.Cast
