Young Ideas is a 1924 American silent comedy film directed by Robert F. Hill and starring Laura La Plante, T. Roy Barnes, and Lucille Ricksen.

As described in a film magazine,[3] Octavia Lowden (La Plante) is the mainstay of a family consisting of Aunt Minnie (Titus), firmly convinced that she is "not long for this world," Eloise (Ricksen), a younger sister with a twisted disposition, Uncle Eph (Barrows), who fought with General Grant at Appomattox, Bob (Messinger), a kid brother with a sleep-and-mischief complex, and Grandma (Lee), the only regular sport in the outfit, but tied to her chair.

Finally he ventures to her house one Sunday afternoon, with such results that he is driven to a desperate trick.

Then Spence goes to the country place to bring Octavia home, and has to whip the very detectives he put around the house because they do not know him.

And then Spence seeks forgiveness for his "trick" and receives punishment extraordinary — a life sentence with Octavia.
