Synopsis
Status-conscious Virginia Blaine marries Robert Stafford, an alcoholic millionaire whom she does not love. Robert lavishes gifts and money on her, but when drunk, he treats her as a mere possession--something which he has "bought and paid for." Virginia realizes that she did indeed sell herself to the highest bidder, and so leaves Robert, even though she has come to love him. She supports herself as a shopgirl until her brother-in-law, James Gilley, tricks her and Robert into a meeting with each other, during which Robert promises to reform, and the couple decide to try married life once again.
