Synopsis:
Wealthy financier Leslie M. Gresham is disappointed when his wife gives birth to a baby girl instead of a boy. He decides to raise the girl as a boy and teach her about railroads. His daughter, Leslie M. Gresham, Jr. wants to be a girl, but her father won't let her.

When it comes time for young Leslie to choose a college, she is rejected from an all-boys school. She then wins a scholarship to Holliday College. With the fear of media backlash, her father reluctantly agrees to let her attend classes at Holliday.

While she studies in class, Leslie also receives physical training from Wonder Woman. However, she desperately wants her father's approval. When Mr. Gresham is trapped in one of his coal mines, Wonder Woman and young Leslie come to his rescue. When the girls succeed in helping the trapped men escape, Mr. Gresham finally acknowledges that women can be as capable as men.
