Plot

[edit]

As described in a film magazine,[2] Alan Boyd's contention that a woman's ankles determine her character brings him to a masquerade party where he hopes to discover the owner of a pair of perfect ones. After much ado, he finally locates the young woman, Helen Raynor. However, he finds that her mother takes a cordial dislike to him, her father is a business competitor, and a disagreeable rival places a baby in Alan's arms and then announces that he is the father. Further complications arise when Alan learns that he has given Helen's father arsenic instead of headache powder. In the end, all ends well as Alan wins the affection of Helen.
