Synopsis

Geraldine Seagrave and her brother Scott inherit their father's craving for alcohol and after his death are kept in seclusion on the family estate. Finally Geraldine is given a coming-out party, but a suitor, Jack Dysart, compels her to drink, and she humiliates herself before an old friend, Duane Mallett. Duane's sister Sylvia, who, although wronged by Jack, still loves him, appeals to Geraldine for help. Geraldine tricks Jack into marrying Sylvia and then accepts Duane's proposal, which saves her from her inherited compulsion to drink.
