Comedy.

Synopsis: [The Moving Picture World, 7 July 1917, page ?] Mother has chosen an Englishman for her daughter, Ora, while dad prefers a Frenchman. Ora is fancy free until a momentous occasion: then, all alone on a runaway motorcycle, she meets her fate. The rivalry of the Englishman and the Frenchman, the schemes of father and mother to further the interests of their respective candidates, furnish the basis of a really funny plot. It is carried to ludicrous extremes by Frenchy, who tries his best to commit suicide, only to weaken at the crucial moment.
