Synopsis
Manhattan model Marion Buckley hesitates to accept a marriage proposal from wealthy upstate department store owner Warren Rogers, a widower with two daughters, because of her previous affair with her employer Leon Kessler, who had promised to marry her. After Kessler agrees to say nothing of the affair, Marion marries Rogers and lives happily until Kessler visits and proposes to Rogers' teenaged daughter Ardath. When Rogers shows no opposition, Marion, in order to save Ardath, tells of her affair which provokes Rogers to throw her out saying that to have sown one's wild oats is all right for a man, but not for a woman. Marion becomes a newspaper reporter in New York and encounters Kessler still pursuing Ardath, who is visiting the city with her father. When Marion offers herself to Kessler if he will leave Ardath alone, Rogers, listening behind a door, thrashes Kessler and then takes Marion back to his home.
