Plot

According to a film magazine,^[3] "Grace Culver has been dubbed "The Wasp" because of her stinging tongue and clever satire. Her father is desirous of having her marry Kane Putman, but when Grace learns the true nature of the man, she rebels and leaves home. Harry Cortland, who first saw Grace at a football game, is determined to make her his wife. He becomes her chauffeur and when angry strikers from her father's factories, inspired by a German agent, Carl Wagner, attack their machine, Cortland tries to save her. However, they are made prisoners. Grace manages to get word to soldiers. She and Cortland escape into a tunnel where they are trapped when the German agents set off a bomb. Grace learns that Harry Cortland is a millionaire's son and in love with her and after their rescue by American soldiers, they make a hasty trip to a nearby parsonage."
