Louise Alston is one of those girls who are used to solving their problems without the help of others. Having grown up in poverty, she does not at all consider herself a well-bred lady. Louise makes a daring escape through the window from the villain who kidnapped her. In her brother's house, where she hopes to take refuge, the girl meets the mysterious and charming captain Hugh Dark. But, disappointed in men, Louise refuses to lean on a strong man’s shoulder. On the contrary, she herself helps Hugh defeat the enemy. In addition, Louise is irresistibly drawn to the handsome captain.
