Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Madge Bellamy plays a vivacious clothes model in Ankles Preferred. Tired of being appreciated only for her beauty, Bellamy sets out to prove that she's got brains as well. This leads to a number of comic mishaps, ranging from a tussle with an amorous financier to a zany car chase. In the end, she causes feminist teeth to gnash all over the country by deciding that good looks are infinitely preferrable to intelligence. Three writers worked on the screenplay of Ankles Preferred--all men.
