Nan Rutledge is a young flapper who has many boys at her beck-and-call, whom she invites to midnight dances at her home. After a raucous house party, she is ordered by her father to find a husband and settle down. She immediately decides to marry the last person her father met with at random, the wealthy woman-hating Anthony Griswald. When proposed to, she accepts but then later changes her mind in front of guests. Later, Anthony abducts her and secrets her to his mountain cabin where he sends for the parson.
