Plot
As described in a review in a film magazine,[2] Evelyn, as a chorus girl, is admired by a young blue-blood whose family invite 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 captured and accused. It develops that Mary, a girl Evelyn has befriended, had a row with Martyn and the shot was accidental.
