Plot[edit]
As described in a film magazine review,[2] Lois Whittall's father Leigh is interested in a young blonde charmer. Lois and her college friends are out for a good time and en route pick up Mabel Vandegrift, a young country woman who was very strictly reared by her parents. Their gay roadside party is wound up by a moonlight bathing frolic. The young people are then scattered by outraged villagers and they are in an automobile accident. Lois and Mabel then become mixed up in a murder mystery. In the end, it all comes out alright and the two young women find happiness with their respective lovers.
