Synopsis
Courtly Jefferson Duhamel, partner in a New Orleans banking firm, steals $200,000 in securities to pay off a gambling debt to Julie Malo and then kills himself. John Trask, Duhamel's private secretary, is in love with his late employer's daughter, Rose, and assumes the blame for the theft in order to save the Duhamel family from disgrace. Julie learns of Trask's sacrifice and, donning a worldly dress and sophisticated airs, goes to Julie Malo's gambling casino. Rose vamps Julie's son, Edward, and tricks him into revealing the whereabouts of the securities. Rose eventually recovers the securities; her father's name is thus kept free of scandal, and Trask is released from jail.
