The picture opens on a farm on Christmas morning with everything covered with snow and the temperature hovering around zero. The girl appears, seeking shelter from the storm, but instead of being in rags she is in tights and explains she was in a balloon that was wrecked. The hero and his uncle volunteer to take her back to Hollywood and start out with a caravan of flivvers ending in getting mixed up in a real estate boom in Los Angeles, where the tent flies away, carrying the girl who finally falls into the arms of the hero.

An Amateur Devil Synopsis

Carver Endicott, a young sophisticate, is rejected by his fiancée for being too foppish and dull. When she feigns an interest in his father, Carver attempts to disgrace his family name by working as a farmhand and later as a busboy in a hotel. However, the newspapers only praise him for his self-sacrificing principles; and finding that he cannot bring shame to the family through menial labor, he takes up with a notorious actress. But when this maneuver also fails, he returns to his former fiancée, who has no further complaint about his being an inexperienced dullard.
