Constance Keener, who is betrothed to young millionaire Merton Torrey, confesses to him her desire for romance such as he does not give her. On the occasion of a masquerade ball, Torrey is unable to escort her; and while she is alone on the balcony, someone suddenly seizes and kisses her, then disappears. She attempts to discover her assailant's identity, but two other men are in identical costumes; later, she decides that he was Dr. Moss, and a few days later, she elopes with him. On the train, Connie realizes after being kissed that she has eloped with the wrong man. When the train comes to a stop, they are "held up" by a masked man who "kidnaps" and kisses her; realizing that he is the stranger, Connie unmasks Torrey, the man she had considered so unromantic.
