Plot

As described in a film magazine, Lawrence Van Huyler (Farnum), being constantly goaded by his family regarding his prestige, finds it impossible to be anything but very polite and a perfect cad. Any demonstrations are quickly nipped in the bud by his father Peter Van Huyler (Montague). The tearing down of an old house, for generations the home of the Van Huylers, reveals the secret of the family name. Lawrence is delighted to find that he is Irish, the paternal cognomen having been O'Malley. At last he can be more human, and he sets out to win Alicia (Hansen).
