Pajamas

What a shame that only two of Olive Borden’s many vehicles of the 1920s appear to have survived. One of the most tantalizing of these “lost” films is Pajamas, in which Borden is cast as hoydenish young heiress Angela Wade. When the pilot of her father’s private plane falls ill, Angela “mans” the controls of the plane herself. Alas, her good intentions are not matched by her flying skills, and soon our heroine crash-lands in the Canadian Rockies. While making her way back to civilization, Angela makes the acquaintance of handsome mountaineer John Weston (Lawrence Gray), who makes it his goal to “tame” the contentious but fascinating heroine.
