Storyline
| Plot Summary |
Lydia Thorne, a wealthy girl who loves speed and thrills, is unsympathetic when her maid Evans is jailed for stealing her jewels. District Attorney Daniel O'Bannon visits Lydia to make her see the error of her own ways, but instead views a scene of Lydia and her friends that reminds him of a Roman orgy. O'Bannon feels that he must send Lydia to jail for her own good when her automobile-driving causes a motorcycle policeman's death. Lydia is resentful, and her rebuff of O'Bannon, who has come to love her, causes him such remorse that he turns to drink and dissipation. Meanwhile, Lydia reforms, realizes she loves O'Bannon, and resolves to do charitable work. She and Evans open a soup kitchen after their release, and a chance meeting with O'Bannon starts him on the road to recovery. With Lydia's encouragement he becomes himself again, runs for governor, but withdraws his candidacy to marry Lydia when he sees that her record would be a liability to him in politics.

Did You Know?
| Trivia | In order to correctly write a script that would depict the experience of a woman being arrested and imprisoned, screenwriter Jeanie Macpherson arranged, at Cecil B. DeMille's behest, to be imprisoned for stealing a fur piece from a friend (with whom she had worked out an agreement beforehand). She was arrested in Detroit, booked and fingerprinted under the name Angie Brown and spent three days in jail before a police official discovered the truth and arranged for her release. Macpherson wrote about the experience in an article called I Have Been in Hell. See more » |

Lydia's Chaperon:
Make Dan keep an eye on her, Eleanor. If she will show up for anybody, she will for him - but as her chaperon, I won't stay and be party to such goings on! See more » |
