[1][2][3] As described in a film magazine,[4] vamp Grace St. Clair (Terry) is willing to accept large checks from millionaire James Flint (Beery) but does not care for his caresses.

James' nephew Michael (O'Hara) from the country arrives, fondly expecting to live in luxury at his uncle's home in the city, but he is quickly disillusioned.

Michael is called upon to save the lovely heiress Ruth Anthony (McGuire) on two occasions, and Star the humble suitor convinces the boardinghouse lady that the young man is not true and gets her heart on the rebound.

Michael finds himself the subject of a breach of promise lawsuit with Grace telling the most amazing story of his violent courtship of her.

Then Ruth's father John D. Anthony (Standing) is held prisoner by her rejected suitor Garrett, and Michael comes to the rescue.
