Plot
As described in a film magazine, Nora Nolan (Mason) works in the basement of a large department store. When she faints from the heat, she is advised to take a vacation. Jimmie Norton (McDonald), a newspaper reporter gathering materials for a hot weather story, overhears her say that she has but $4.12 to her name, so he borrows $200 from his wealthy father and sends it to Nora, and she departs for Winchester-by-the-Sea. Jimmy follows after being discharged by the newspaper and thrown on his own resources by his father. After a crook steals Nora's money, she is snubbed by the other hotel guests and ends up becoming a dishwasher to pay for her room. After overhearing some crooks planning to rob the hotel safe, she keeps them at bay with a frying pan while Jimmie's father Patrick (Gordon), who has conveniently arrived at the scene, binds them. The film ends with a final closeup of Nora and Jimmie.
