Conquering the Woman tells the story of Judith who was initially annoyed by Larry Saunders after he rescued her from intentionally falling off her plane and eventually learning that Judith is the daughter of Larry's friend, Tobias.
While aqua-planing off the south coast of France, Judith intentionally falls off her plane and is very much annoyed when Larry Saunders (Butler) of Oklahoma, whose yacht is nearby, dives to her rescue. As described in a film magazine, Judith Stafford (Vidor) returns to her San Francisco home after a lengthy sojourn abroad during which Aunt Sophia (Brundage), a social climber, was her chaperon. Later, when Larry comes to San Francisco, he visits his old friend Tobias Stafford (Sprotte), and is amazed to discover that Judith is Tobey's daughter.
