Summary:
A tongue-in-cheek morality play in which Gloria Swanson plays a spoiled maiden, rigid in her belief in the class system who always gets her way, until shipwrecked with her butler. Reduced to a state of primal existence--no longer servant and master but simply male and female--the folly of class becomes evident, as does the attraction between them.
