Synopsis

When Charles Hale is visiting his mistress, Sybil Russell, he is shot in the arm by Sybil's estranged and outraged husband. Hale's daughter, Marjorie, is so shocked to discover in this abrupt fashion her father's philandering that she leaves her wealthy home and goes to the slums to do settlement work. Marjorie, who is engaged to the district attorney, is there placed in a compromising position by her father's assailant, who intends to revenge himself upon the entire Hale family. The district attorney breaks off his engagement with Marjorie. She is reconciled to her father, who has given up Sybil. Mrs. Hale, generally engaged in social activities, returns from a convention and is happily reunited with her husband and daughter. The district attorney learns that Marjorie was the victim of Russell's scheming, and he and Marjorie replight their troth.
