Plot

A thick evening fog strands party guests at a London hotel. All rooms are taken. Leslie Steele, a young, pretty but madcap socialite, barges her way into Everard Logan's suite. He promptly registers one objection after another, but all efforts to evict Leslie fail. So Logan strikes a compromise, allowing her use of the bedroom, while he takes another room in the suite. She spends the entire time teasing and taunting him. By breakfast, Logan changes his tune and insists they meet again. But while he's out of the room, dressing, she mysteriously bolts for home, which she shares with her grandfather, a judge.
