Adora Winstanley, Broadway's newest idol, receives the adoration of many wealthy men, but Billy Kelvin wins her heart. They are married--to the great displeasure of Billy's father, a leader in New York society, who offers money to Adora in exchange for Billy's freedom. She refuses, and Mr. Kelvin desperately hatches a plot in which a young man lures Adora to his yacht; she (Kelvin assumes) compromises herself, and Billy witnesses his wife's disgrace. Adora proves faithful, however, and the elder Kelvin finally concedes her worthiness.—AFI
