Young Teddy Bimms craves the good life and finds plenty of intrigue and danger when she falls in love with a jewel thief, who is masquerading as a prince. Ultimately, the young girl reveals his true identity and rescues the grateful prince, who promptly proposes marriage.—Pamela Short

A little waif of the prairie, "Teddy" Bimms, grows to girlhood under the care of a rancher who had known her father before he was shot by Mexicans. Baird decides to send her east to school, "to make a lady out of her," and while she is in the midst of her studies he dies, leaving no will. With little money and no friends she seeks the city and employment as a stenographer. Her smart appearance wins her work, but when she refuses to comply with all the employer's conditions she is invariably discharged. She finally gives up the struggle after obtaining a position as secretary to the great Abraham Cleverman, millionaire merchant. She had been temporarily aided financially by Raymond Raphael, a fellow roomer, who saved her from being thrown into the street. She was destined to meet the debonair Raymond again. Mrs. Cleverman, society leader, is preparing for the most brilliant event of the season, the debut of her daughter Eloise, who but a short time before had created consternation in the family by dancing on a table in a gay midnight café. Teddy Bimms demands Cleverman obtain on invitation. It is sent to her under the name of Senorita Theodora De Menza. In the meantime Raymond Raphael, who is leader of a band of society thieves, finds that his resemblance to Prince Aggregio makes things easy. He kidnaps the Prince and poses as Aggregio himself. The real noble is imprisoned in "Diamond Kate's" home. Raymond goes to the Cleverman reception. He meets Teddy and makes love to her. She later catches him in a daring theft of a tiara and learns his game, but says nothing. Eloise tires of the party and joins her Bohemian companions. Later she is carried into the "Diamond Kate" flat intoxicated. She is locked in a room. But Teddy, returning home in a taxi, sees it all. She enlists Gripp, the detective, who had been on the trail of the jewel thieves. In a daring attempt she liberates Eloise. Later police raid the flat and the Prince is freed. "There is your rescuer," Tripp tells the Prince, pointing to Teddy. The gratitude of the Prince is unbounded. Cleverman decides to come to an understanding with Teddy. "We must break. What's your price?" are his words here. "Your coffee plantation in South America and $500,000," she replies. He pays and shortly after the Princes Aggregio, she who had been a prairie wolf, sails for Brazil with her Italian nobleman husband.—Moving Picture World synopsis
