Synopsis:
Penelope loves Nelson Noble but Sylvester Snide has other plans for her. His interest grows deeper when her mother inherits beachfront property in Florida. He forges a few changes in the will that require Penelope to marry him to validate the inheritance. Although he is found out, he has other plans. In the middle of a blizzard, he forges a good-bye letter from Nelson knowing she will try to stop him. As she leaves, he fakes a kidnapping by sneaking up behind her, putting a bag over her head and hiding her in the barn. When Nelson appears, Snide tells him she has gone out in the blizzard looking for him. After Nelson leaves to find her, Snide pretends to be the hero and “rescues” Penelope. When Nelson returns, Snide hides under the table. The inevitable chase occurs ending with Snide running outside where he is blown away by the blizzard. As the curtain closes Nelson proposes to Penelope and all ends happily.
