Synopsis

Idalene Nobbin, who is accustomed to being treated as a hopeless wallflower by her mother and her brothers, attends a dance given by Prue Nickerson and is greatly surprised when Roy Duncan, a football star, asks her to dance. Later, however, she is the victim of an unkind jest, which so mortifies her that she throws herself in front of a speeding auto; with both legs broken, she is picked up by wealthy society girl Pamela Shiel and her guest Walter Breen and taken to Pamela's home. Idalene tells Pamela she wished to die because no man would ever want to marry her. Pamela surrounds Idalene with luxuries and teaches her to walk gracefully and wear stylish clothes; and soon her blooming charm attracts Breen. At a party Pamela gives in her honor her former critics pay her homage. Idalene refuses Breen's proposal of marriage when she learns that Pamela also loves him; but Pamela suppresses her feelings in favor of Idalene, and the lovers are happily united.
