In a moment of pique she marries Count Van Tuyle. After six months she returns from Europe, minus her husband. Trying to forget her error, she goes to the country. Richard Coombs is the nearest neighbor of Madge's aunt, and he finds it necessary for his wife and himself to hasten to the city. A chaperon is needed immediately for their four daughters. By necessity they are forced to take Madge, who is still the runaway Countess Van Tuyle. Jim Ogden is on a canoe trip through the lakes and stops at the Coombs camp. This is the crowning embarrassment for the chaperon. Up to the time the cook, butler and chauffeur have quit and each one of the girls has opened a summer flirtation. However, Ogden persuades Madge to take a canoe ride. Their craft strikes a rock and the two are marooned on a little barren Island. Meanwhile the Count has followed his wife to America and with Madge's mother arrives at the camp. Becoming suspicious, he goes up the lake the next morning and finds his wife with Ogden. Madge escapes in his boat and leaves the two men to fight it out. Mrs. Coombs returns to find her four daughters engaged, the chaperon a sorry sight after her night on the lake and half of her servants gone. However, Mrs. Hemmingway solves everything and promises that she will effect a settlement with the Count to enable her daughter to marry Ogden. Written by Moving Picture World synopsis See less
