She is engaged to Ernest Lardner, a young lawyer and member of Parliament. Her father and aunt discover her reading militant literature and are highly shocked, but the girl insists on having her own way. She then tries to persuade her lover to support the suffragette cause and on his refusal to do so, angrily breaks off their engagement. Dorothy promises Phyllis she will speak at a suffragette meeting. Her father learns of it and takes her off to the country where, on the night of the meeting at which she is to speak, he locks her in her room. She manages to borrow a suit of boy's clothes, climbs out of the window and takes the train for the city. She arrives there late and finds the meeting has been broken up by a crowd of toughs. Rose, another friend of Dorothy's, and a very timid girl, is attacked by one of the ruffians. Dorothy interferes and tries to protect the girl. Ernest, who is passing by, sees a big fellow attacking a frail looking young "lad," interferes. The police come up and arrest Dorothy, Ernest and the tough. Dorothy and Ernest are thrust into the same cell and he finds the "boy" is none other than his sweetheart, in boy's clothes. In their distress, they are drawn together, and Dorothy, who has had enough of militantism, gladly gives her consent when he begs a renewal of their engagement. Through his influence, Ernest, after making himself known, gains their freedom, and they go home to her father and aunt, who are nearly distracted. On hearing of the renewal of the young people's engagement, they decide that, "all's well that ends well," and the lovers are left alone in their happiness.
