A very brief synopsis of the film is available in the copy of the film’s advertisement which appears in the August 4, 1917, issue of Motion Picture News on page 756. The text is here transcribed by Noreen O’Connor:

A whirlwind of joy—in one reel
A wayward Miss sees a couple of joyriders christen their Pierce and Packard “Washington” and “Lincoln” respectively, because they are first and best respectively—so she christens her Ford “Teddy R.” because it’s a rough-rider and pours “Schlitz” into the radiator. And the “rough house” starts.
