Aspiring author Prudence "Prue" Severn leaves her staid home for the wild life in New York's artistic Greenwich Village community. Her concerned family hires two thrill-seeking ex-doughboys, bow-tied Bartley "Bart" Greer and his trigger-happy buddy Lee, to look after her and, hopefully, persuade her to come home. They move into Prue's apartment building, where she lives with a sculptress pal. Although interested in Bart, Prue senses he is being paid to watch over her-- so she decides to elope with the handsome Rolf.

AI Analysis
My Lady of Whims is a period drama that centers on the friction between conservative family expectations and the burgeoning bohemian lifestyle of the 1920s. While it lacks intersectional breadth, it offers a compelling look at individual autonomy through its female lead. The film succeeds in portraying a woman navigating her own social liberation. However, the narrative remains narrow, focusing almost exclusively on Anglo-Saxon social dynamics and heteronormative romance, leaving little room for broader identity-based representation.
