Set in horse-and-buggy times, this Withers comedy-drama is a reprise of George Bernard Shaw's play "Pygmalion." Withers plays a street urchin who uses her wits to stay alive on the city streets. Taylor saves her from a scrape with a man she tries to beat for a fancy meal. Taylor, a wealthy
part-time playwright, takes her home to use for reference for street slang in a play he plans to write. His entire family is opposed to her living with them, but Taylor keeps her around, watching her like a zoo specimen. She ends up winning over the whole family as she becomes transformed into a
perfect lady.
