Synopsis by Hal Erickson
When her family loses its fortune, aristocratic Mimi LeBrun (Jacqueline Logan) is forced into a marriage with a man she hardly knows. On the night before the nuptials, Mimi elopes with Jimmy Chandler (Cullen Landis), who mistakenly believes that he has inherited a palatial California mansion. In truth, all Jimmy has fallen heir to is a rundown shack and a few measly acres of scrubland. Realizing that the misunderstanding was not her husband's fault, Mimi forgives him and tries to make the best of things, only to stray from the nest when an old boyfriend (Prince Youcca Troubetsky, or at least that's how he billed himself) shows up. Eventually, she proves her loyalty to Jimmy by rescuing him from a mountain avalanche.
