Synopsis
During a lawn party at his New York home, "Steel King" Theodore Morton tells his niece Betty's two suitors, Lord Dormer and the Duke of Medonia, who are only after her money, that he has gone bankrupt. The suitors flee, but unscrupulous Carl Gates, learning from his fiancée, Adele Shelby, the secretary to Morton's banker, that the bankruptcy is a hoax, pursues Betty. She becomes engaged to him when he convinces her that the marriage will help her uncle. During a yachting expedition with Gates, Betty falls overboard and is saved by architect Tom Waring, who is in the middle of a race. They win the race and a romance develops. Adele learns that Gates is deceiving her and tells Morton about Gates' plan. Morton and his banker ruin Gates on the stock market and then offer Adele $700,000, the amount made ruining Gates, if she will marry Gates. She does, leaving Betty free to marry Tom.
