Plot

While serving in the American Army during World War I, Pat Kelly (Moore), a womanizing soldier, tells all the young women he romances to come and visit him in New York City after the war. Never expecting any of them to take him up on it, he gives his address as the Metropolitan Museum of Art. However, Mitzi Lavelle (Love), one determined young French woman, comes to America looking for him. Walking through the streets of New York, she eventually finds him working as a traffic police officer.
