As described in a film magazine review, Ronnie Rand, a young woman who loves excitement of all kinds and whose watchword is speed, is obliged to marry by a certain day or lose a rich inheritance. Through dramatic circumstances, she meets Pierre Martel, a member of a band of crooks. Thinking that he is a man's man, Ronnie marries him. Martel's confederates seek to blackmail Ronnie and when she refuses to sign a check, they attempt to kill Martel but he is saved by the police. It then develops that Martel is no crook at all, but is a United States Secret Service agent who was obtaining evidence against the crooks. Ronnie, somewhat disappointed that her husband is no burglar, makes the best of it and both husband and wife are happy.
