Summary
Wanda Wiley stars as a calamitous office assistant whose lack of grace is matched only by her destructive potential. After a series of workplace disasters involving an unwanted kiss from her boss and a chaotic frog hunt that leaves the office in ruins, Wanda finds herself entangled with a mysterious 'sheik.' What follows is a surreal battle of romantic one-upmanship. Wanda attempts to ignite jealousy by hosting an assembly of suitors, only for her paramour to retaliate with a bizarre counter-scheme involving a 'vamp' disguise and a troupe of chorus girls. The narrative spirals into a fever dream of 1920s slapstick, culminating in a suicide attempt that turns into a flagpole stunt and a blindfolded car crash that somehow facilitates a Shakespearean romantic resolution.
Synopsis
Wanda appears as a plain-Jane office girl who manages to mess things up generally. The boss tries to kiss her and she wrecks his office; then in seeking to capture a frog she manages to break up nearly everything in the outer office. After hours she meets a sheik and it is love at first sight. Inviting him home she tries to make him jealous by inviting a lot of fellows. He retaliates by luring them to the window disguised as a vamp and pitching them out and then surrounding himself with chorus girls. Wanda then jumps off a building in despair but lands on a flag pole that breaks and sticks in the ground. She next tries driving an auto blindfolded, runs into the hero's car and in the smash both are thrown on a balcony where they make-up and pull the Romeo and Juliet stuff.
