Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine,[2] Evelyn, a chorus girl, is admired by a young blue-blood whose family invites her to a reception to show her up. To teach them a lesson for their snobbery, she marries this chap. Bob. His sister becomes infatuated with Martyn, a libertine, and to save her when she prepares to elope, Evelyn goes to Martyn's apartment. He is shot and Evelyn is captured and accused of the crime. It is revealed that Mary, a girl Evelyn had befriended, had a row with Martyn, and the shooting was accidental. Both young women are freed and Bob's family is glad to receive Evelyn as a member of the household.
