The head of the Kimberly household rules it with an iron fist. Unfortunately the head of the Kimberly household isn’t Grant (J.H. Gilmore), the father and wealthy Wall Street magnate — it’s his spoiled, headstrong daughter Catherine (Virginia Pearson). She is so willful that she has earned the name “Impossible Catherine,” and her whole focus in life is to prove women’s superiority over the masculine gender. Catherine is pretty successful in this endeavor until she runs into Yalie John Henry Jackson (William B. Davidson). He’s read The Taming of the Shrew and believes he can out-Petruchio her Catherine. First he takes the feisty lass up in a plane and after a few tail spins, suggests she either marry him or jump. She marries him, of course, but then runs away. He finds her and takes her to his Canadian ranch, where he sets her firmly in the kitchen. But none of this tames her spirit until one day he is wounded while trying to protect her — and this is the one thing that’s always guaranteed to get the girl. It works on the wayward Catherine who decides that Jackson is her hero.
