Virtue Is Its Own Reward

Actor Tom Forman (who played Seadley Swaine in the film) later directed Lon Chaney in Shadows (1922).

[2][3] Annie Partlan works long hours in a local canning factory so that she can pay for her sister Alice's education.

Alice ignores Annie's advice and secretly takes a job herself at the canning factory to earn enough money to purchase a wedding gown.

In the factory, Alice meets Duncan Bronson (Lon Chaney), a department manager who has a very bad reputation.

One day, Annie shows up at work in a brand new sexy dress that she has purchased with her savings, and starts acting more like a loose woman.
