Synopsis
Because her father breaks her engagement to a young man, Jane, a spoiled girl of luxury, retires to a country hospital of which her father is a director, in order to sulk and give vent to her feelings. She and her father have many tilts over her stubbornness, and Jane is perpetually victor. Her father discharges the flirtatious hospital superintendent one day, and that worthy leaves, taking with him the entire staff and leaving the hospital isolated and cut off from the world. That evening, the "red-haired person," the new superintendent, arrives and his experiences with the hungry patients, not to mention the bad-tempered Jane, serve as a background for a most delightful little comedy. Suffice to say, Jane, for once in her life, meets her match in the "red-haired person," but she rather enjoys being bossed, and an ultimate midnight episode in which she is the moving factor, brings father, the next morning at dawn with three autos loaded with assistance, only to burst in on the greatest surprise of his life. But we'll not discuss it here.
