[2] It is based on the 1924 short story Tomorrow's Bread by Wallace Irwin, originally published in Pictorial Review.

[3] As described in a review in a film magazine,[4] even as a child golden-haired Flora Lee Peake (Rich) attracted the opposite sex.

When she grew up, her father (Walthall) used his last dollar to bring about her marriage to the Marquis de San Pilar (Kosloff), while her younger sister Margaret (Reynolds) went to work assisting Admah, who now owns a candy store.

Margaret, who loves Admah, remains true and buys and operates the store, while Flora runs off with Bunny O'Neill (Baxter).

Bunny throws her down and, now a wreck, returns to her old home, now a boarding house, and goes to her room with its famous golden bed.
