A young man takes a trip to Europe, and when he returns home he brings along the woman he fell in love with and became engaged to. However, his snooty mother finds out that she doesn't come from a "good" family and is, in fact, a clerk in a shoe store, and refuses to sanction the engagement. The young man's uncle disagrees and tries to convince the mother to accept the young girl--but then begins to realize he is developing feelings for her himself.—[email protected]

A pretty pair of ankles attracts Robert Van Austin, and to relieve his ennui on shipboard he obtains an introduction to their owner, Lucette Grenier, owner of a smart Firth Ave. shop, on a trip to Paris for the latest models. A swift courtship follows and the return trip finds them engaged. Robert is apprehensive. His former affair with Doris Charming and his aristocratic and snobbish mother both promise trouble. A mix-up of suit cases causes Robert to tell his mother sooner than he had planned. Van Austin, Sr., his uncle, insists on entertaining Lucette to meet the family. Mrs. Van Austin snubs her. Meanwhile, Doris Charming, visits the shop and charges expensive articles to Robert. Understanding his character from this, Lucette decides to break the engagement. At a dance given by Van Austin, Sr., Henri Trevel, Lucette's grandfather, whose existence she has concealed because of his weakness for drink, comes to take her home. In his befuddled state he thinks she needs his care. Before she goes Van Austin, Sr. asks her to marry him. So the "Lucette" shop is closed. - Moving Picture World, April 23, 1921.—Pamela Short
