When her impoverished family sailed from early-19th-century Ireland to America in order to claim an inheritance left to her sickly brother--and he died en route--Patricia O’Day (Marion Davies) donned man-drag to assume his identity. The pose gets even more perilous with a challenge from frustrated heir Larry Delavan (Harrison Ford)...whom she starts falling for. Engaging farce that was one of Davies’ most popular vehicles co-stars J.M. Kerrigan, Harry Watson, Jr., Louis Wolheim. 110 min. Standard; Soundtrack: music score; segment from "Hold Fast" (1916). Silent with music score.
