- Former college football hero Kirk Anthony, to the disappointment of his father, a railroad magnate, refuses to enter the business world. Kirk prefers to coach the university team and carouse, until he is drugged during a drunken victory party and put aboard a steamer bound for Panama by an embezzler who switches clothes with him. During the trip, Mrs. Edith Cortlandt, who has married her diplomat husband for convenience, falls in love with Kirk. In Panama, Kirk and Allan Allan, a Jamaican friend, are arrested when Kirk's efforts to use American firefighting methods cause a riot. After Mrs. Cortlandt's influence gets Kirk out of jail and into a job, he falls in love with Chiquita Garavel, the daughter of a Spanish grandee.

- The hero is Kirk Anthony, a college graduate, a veteran football player, and. since graduation the coach of his university team. On the evening following a football victory, the last of the season. Kirk and others start out to celebrate. Late that night he finds himself on shipboard, and when he awakens he is without money and without baggage. During the voyage Kirk becomes acquainted with a woman, a Mrs. Stephen Cortlandt, whom he learns to admire very much. She is really a diplomatic agent of great influence. One day while Kirk is out hunting he meets in a forest bower, a Spanish girl who is known only as "Chiquita." He falls desperately in love with her, and tries vainly to discover her identity. The story of his making good, of his winning of Chiaulta despite the counter-plottings of Mrs. Cortlandt, of the clearing of his name, and of the final decisive intervention in Panamanian affairs of old Darwin K. Anthony, is engrossing and varied by many richly humorous episodes.—Moving Picture World synopsis
