Lawrence Revel, celebrated in society circles for his success with women, is devoted to his son Dick and objects to his marrying Nellie, a cabaret dancer. To prove her unworthiness, Beau asks his son not to see her for 2 weeks. Unwittingly, Beau falls in love with the girl, but his attentions are refused. When Nellie's brother gets involved with the law, she seeks Beau's aid, but Dick arrives and a stormy scene ensues. Following his son's reproach, Beau leaps from the window to his death, and Dick seeks Nellie's forgiveness.—AFI
