Wiletta and Dick Whipple are jazz-mad children who follow the pursuit of pleasure recklessly: Wiletta is attracted by Jack Cartwright, a lounge lizard, and gives the cold shoulder to Nat Armstrong, a worthy fellow who loves her; Dick drinks too much. Their parents, Sam and Mary, go on a trip and return with a new car and new clothes. On a trip, the elder Whipples have become involved with the Querinos, Spanish crooks, who soon kidnap Wiletta. Nat and Sam give chase to the Querinos' car. Nat snatches Wiletta from the bandits' machine, and her father then runs it with its occupants over a cliff. Mutual reconciliation follows.
