Synopsis
Flora Lee, the spoiled daughter of an aristocratic southern family of rapidly dwindling means, marries the Marquis de San Pilar. Three years pass. Climbing the Jungfrau, the Marquis finds his wife in the arms of another man and kills both that man and himself. Flora Lee returns home and marries Admah Holtz, a self-made young man long in love with her. Flora Lee's extravagance soon brings Admah close to financial ruin, but nevertheless he allows her to give an elaborate ball, using money not entirely his own to finance it. Admah is sent to jail for 5 years, and Flora Lee runs off with Bunny. When Admah is released from jail, he returns home in time to comfort Flora Lee, who has been cast off by Bunny and is dying of pneumonia. Admah rebuilds his business and finds comfort with Margaret, Flora Lee's sister, who has loved him patiently for many years.
