The Wasp

The film follows Grace Culver, who is nicknamed "The Wasp" due to her sharp tongue. A disagreement with her father, John Culver, over her refusal to marry his business partner, Kane Putnam, sets off a series of events. Grace orders her chauffeur, Tim Purcell, to take her and her maid, Miller, on a drive, but they are soon captured by a German spy named Brazsos.

As the plot unfolds, Grace learns of a hidden tunnel that leads to her father's munitions factory, which Brazsos plans to blow up. After a tense encounter, where the bomb explodes prematurely, Grace and Tim confess their love while trapped. The film concludes with a twist, revealing that Tim is actually the wealthy Yale football star Harry Cortland, much to the delight of Grace's father. This narrative showcases the blend of comedy and drama typical of the era.
