Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Madge Bellamy stars as a humble sales clerk, forced by circumstance to pose as a famous female athlete. In this guise, she is wooed by wealthy Pat Cunning, who makes it clear that he's crazy about "outdoor" girls. So as not to lose Cunning, Bellamy endures a rigorous weekend of jogging, hiking, rowing and mountain-climbing. Only when the picture is nearing its end does the heroine come to realize that the hero is in love with her and not her phony reputation. Joseph Cawthorn has the film's best scenes as Cunning's crotchety, smarter-than-he-looks father.
