Sally (Carol Dempster) is that girl who was bought up by the Professor (W.C. Fields) - actually a trickster and conman than a real prof. When the Professor feels that it is time to restore her to her true family her grandfather (Erville Alderson) really disapproves of her even without knowing who she is. To make matters more complicated she falls in love with Peyton Lennox (Alfred Lunt) the son of her grandfather's friend. Though she ends up jailed for the Professor's crimes...
W.C. Fields is great in this as is Carol Dempster. It is a funny film, though more light hearted than laugh out loud funny, but also with plenty of heart ably directed by the legendary D.W. Griffith.
