Plot

As described in a film magazine review, Richard Morton rescues Dolores, a young Spanish woman, from bandits who attack her in New Orleans. Learning that she has gone to Sevilla, Central America, he follows. A revolution is in progress. Richard heads the forces of President Dominguez and defeats the rebels. He saves Dominguez and Dolores from their enemy, Rodolfo Emanon. It transpires that she is the President's daughter. Richard wins her affections and she becomes his wife.

Censorship

Before Yankee Madness could be exhibited in Kansas, the Kansas Board of Review required the shortening of a scene in reel 3, which was a closeup of a woman's knee, and the elimination of a scene in reel 5, where a man is pierced with a sabre.
