Plot

As described in a film magazine review, overhearing her fiancé tell her father that he "knows all about handling girls," Rosamond decides to show him that he knows nothing about it. Her escapades land her in jail for speeding. Her fiancé rescues her from her sentence of ten days. Still headstrong in her belief that no man can subdue her, she recklessly drives over an embankment and is rescued by two criminals that are hiding in a cave. After escaping from what appears to be certain death, she is rescued and "tamed," admitting her submission.
