- As Nan Lorimer's mother lies dying, she makes Nan promise to take care of her younger sister Masie. Unfortunately, Masie falls for the shady Dr. Thornton and travels secretly around New York City to meet him.

Although the two are deeply in love, John begins to neglect his wife for his mining business, and soon Masie begins to see Dr. Thornton again. Complications ensue.—frankfob2@yahoo.com
- Maisie and Nan, two young convent-bred girls, are left orphaned and unprotected on the death of their mother. The dying woman begs Nan, the older, to watch over and to protect the younger and gay Maisie. Unused to the ways of the world, Maisie soon falls under the spell of the unscrupulous Dr. Thornton. She believes his protestations of love, and despite Nan's advice, meets him clandestinely at doubtful places. John Harwood, a manly fellow who has struck it rich out west, returns and is wined and feted by his former associates. He rescues Maisie from a subway accident when she was on her way to fill a dinner engagement at Dr. Thornton's apartment, and the friendship thus begun, quickly develops. After a short while Harwood declares his love and the couple are married. Although devoted to his wife and longing to be with her, Harwood finds it necessary to spend days and evenings at the office. Maisie chafes under the neglect and becomes very unhappy. She condemns Nan as unsympathetic in siding with Harwood and against her. True to her promise to her dying mother to protect Maisie, Nan goes to Harwood and tells him about Maisie's loneliness. He realizes for the first time that in the search for "the almighty dollar" he has neglected his wife and enthusiastically thanks Nan for bringing him to his senses. Maisie, entering the office, sees their affectionate attitude, hears only enough of their conversation to misunderstand, and already suspicious and jealous of her husband's confidence in Nan, immediately believes the worst. She confides her troubles to Dr. Thornton, and he, basely taking advantage of her upset condition, induces her to come to his apartment. She realizes too late the true character of the man and struggles in vain against his embrace and kisses. Nan, seeking her sister, arrives just in time to save her from Thornton. Norwood learns from a revengeful nurse, one of Dr. Thornton's jilted sweethearts that his wife is at the doctor's apartments. Infuriated, he forces his way into the apartment and demands that the doctor bring forth the woman who was with him. Nan realizes she must save her sister at all costs, that Harwood must never know the truth. Rushing to the back room, she forces Maisie down the fire escape, then steps forward and calmly lies to Harwood, boldly asserts that he is mistaken, that Maisie has not been there and that she came to meet the doctor. Harwood is convinced and goes to beg his wife's forgiveness for his suspicions. Nan's intended, Allen, has listened to her confession of guilt, but he knew that she was nobly telling a lie to save her sister. After beating up the cowardly Thornton, he gathers the crushed, heroic girl into his arms.—Moving Picture World synopsis
