He feels that he must do something to counteract this scoop and decides to leave at once for Philadelphia for the purpose of signing up a certain European celebrity who has just arrived from abroad. Accordingly he motors over. Corinne, the dancer, in an early morning country spin, meets with a smashup. She seeks refuge in a little Quaker cottage nearby and is given a Quaker dress and outfit to wear while her own is being repaired. She insists on being allowed to help around the house and starts off for the spring. Hubert, his trip to Philadelphia a failure, is returning. Pretending that his radiator needs water, he hurries to the spring and meets the fair Quakeress. She recognizes Hubert and sees an opportunity for fun and publicity. So she pretends to fall for Hubert when that man makes gallant advances to her and he readily falls into the net she spreads for him. He returns to the cottage, introduced there as Corinne's chauffeur. They decide to elope. She secretly writes a telegram to her husband (the rival theatrical manager) and her press agent, giving them the full details of the affair for publicity purposes. The story is printed in every newspaper in town that night. Eventually Hubert and Corinne arrive at Hubert's theater after an all-night machine ride. The press agent, who has been waiting for them, rushes forward to meet them and hands Hubert a morning paper as he helps Corinne out of the car. Corinne laughingly introduces Hubert to her husband and, as Hubert recovers from the shock, she points to the newspaper and saucily strolls away with her lord and master. Hubert gets shock number two when he reads the article and realizes that he is an "honorary member of the Patsy Club." Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
