Miss Landi impersonates Lila Banning, who has set the pace for Mayfair’s society at the cost of her small fortune Bankrupt, she realizes that she has been leading a life far above her means, yet she dreads the thought of sinking Mown to the middle class. Her tempestuous, fiery nature then leads her into a series of adventures which soon enmesh her in a network of mystery and suspected crime. TOM WALLS-WEDNESDAY.
