Melbourne MacDowell .... Her Uncle Wilberforce
George Irving .... Her Uncle Edgar
Charles Sellon .... Her Sanitarium's Caretaker
Heinie Conklin .... Her Patient
A rich but hypochondriacal heiress tries to hide from her uncle in a sanitarium. What she doesn’t know is that it is a front for bootleggers, and a hideout for criminals on the run from the law.
Rather like Colleen Moore, Bebe Daniels’ approach to comedy was based on situation, whimsy, and understated wit expressed in the intertitles; there is little in the way of slapstick in her work.
