A spoiled socialite (Eleanor Boardman) disguises herself as man and sees action during World War I. She’s even harassed by her fox-hole cohorts who think she is a gay man. It’s all for the love of a man (or two), but Boardman does save the day. This early talkie is actually a re-worked silent film and includes songs by scene-stealer, Alama Rubens. (CJ)
