- Hobart Hupp, who is celebrated in society as well as in surgery, is a firm believer that he can cure criminals of their wrongdoing by operating upon their brains. He is just about to try the experiment upon Dago Red, a desperate criminal who has been promised his freedom if the operation proves successful, when he is reminded it is his wedding day and that the daughter of the socially ambitious De Morgans is waiting for him at the Hotel Ambassador to become his bride, although she is in love with a slender, retiring youth named Arthur Simmons. Hupp hurries to his car, followed by the impatient crook, and is mistaken by charming Annabelle Landis for her chauffeur. Receiving a hint that he is being exploited by the De Morgans, the doctor decides to desert the waiting bride, and drives Annabelle to her home. When he is told it is three hundred miles distant, he is more than satisfied. Dago Red follows them on a stolen motorcycle. In the meantime the waiting bride and her faithful Arthur have eloped. The police, the De Morgans and members of Annabelle's family take up the chase, and all meet at the De Morgan summer home on Shelter Island. The doctor and Annabelle have decided they love each other, and life is made a thing of bewildering surprises for the lone minister that both of the anxious couples are trying to tie the knot. This is finally accomplished, and Dago Red is deprived of his longing for other people's property.—Moving Picture World, August 13, 1921
