When Frank Torrence dies, leaving his wife and daughter Eunice with no money, Mrs. Torrence persuades Eunice to abandon her sweetheart, Don Chadwick, for wealthy stockbroker Geoffrey Farrow. Eunice reluctantly marries Geoffrey, who proves a cruel and unfaithful husband, and soon her life is made even more miserable by the persistent attentions of Geoffrey's lawyer, Dan Carter. Jealous of Eunice's enduring, though subdued, affection for Don, Geoffrey invites him to the couple's home intending to lure him into a phony stock venture. That weekend Dan is shot, and although Don sees Eunice running from the body, he panics when the police arrive and climbs through the window into her room. Believing Don the murderer, Eunice nonetheless protects him by stating that he is her lover, whereupon Geoffrey files for divorce. In the end, Eunice's maid Martha confesses that because Dan had seduced her, she shot him while disguised in Eunice's clothing. Their suspicions cleared away, Don and Eunice are united.

Adele Torrence loves Dick Chadwick, but when her mother forces her into a money-marriage with Geoffrey Farrow she plays fair and puts Dick aside, but Farrow's jealousy is aroused and he schemes with his associate to have Dick visit them in the hope that he will invest his small funds in a wild-cat stock scheme. Instead, Dick rescues Eunice from the insults of Farrow's henchman and is saved from a murder charge only on Adele's confession that he has spent the evening in her room, a strong way that eventually leads to happiness.—Moving Picture World synopsis
