Alice Paige lives the Bohemian life in New York's Greenwich Village until she receives a letter informing her that she soon will inherit a fine country estate, provided that she live on the property with her maiden aunt. Alice reluctantly leaves New York for the provincial Southern town of Mayport, where she shocks the local inhabitants with her unconventional ways. She does, however, succeed in winning the friendship of the saloon keeper's little daughter and in captivating the owner of a large shipyard, Canton Leigh. When the little girl becomes trapped on the rocks by the high tide, Alice rescues her and returns to town just as a strike on the shipyard, incited by the saloon-keeper, is mushrooming into a riot. Alice climbs onto the roof, and unfurling the American flag, reminds the strikers that the government is in dire need of the ships they are building. Their patriotism aroused, the men cheer for Alice, and Canton takes her in his arms.
