Synopsis
David Power, a political graft collector, is forced by the district attorney to leave New York and takes cabaret singer Hebe Norse with him. Power shows talent as a patent medicine salesman. He is hired by a real estate speculator and then by a great steel manufacturer, Gail Rogers. Power falls in love with Rogers' daughter Rosalie, and they are married. Rogers returns home with a new wife, Hebe Norse. When Rogers discovers Hebe's past, the two men sever ties. Rosalie finds out as well, and also breaks with Power. Rogers tries to ruin one of Power's companies, but does not succeed. Rosalie forgives Power; the couple and their daughter are reunited.
