Joel McCrea appears opposite the star in this Rachel Crothers’ story. All that remains of the once great House of Lorrimore is its Fifth Avenue mansion, dominated by the imperious and embittered old Mrs Lorrimore, whose schemes to recoup the family fortune by marrying her son, Brighton, to an heiress are shattered when he brings home his pretty but penniless Southern bride, Phyllis Manning. The story reaches a gripping climax when the selfish and ambitious dowager pushes the girl into an affair with a wealthy and influential man and wrecks her marriage. But love comes to the rescue and brings the young husband to his senses.
