Synopsis
Jill Cummings and her sisters Marguerite and Jane are left penniless when their father dies. To provide for the family, Jill accepts a sales position in a department store, where she attracts the attention of her unhappily married boss, George Hemingway. Desperate to escape her difficult circumstances, Jill accepts Hemingway's proposal that she live as his mistress and subsequently is kept in high style in a large and beautiful home. Some years later, Hemingway dies, and with the fortune he leaves her, Jill tours Europe. There she becomes engaged to Harry Adams, but when George Hemingway, Jr. appears to act as best man in the wedding, Jill is forced to confess her past to Harry. The two separate for a year to think things over, and when Harry returns, he suggests to Jill that they live together "in a happy way." Jill leaves him and continues her life alone.

Notes
The working title of this film was You Can't Get Away with It. Several sources incorrectly credit Bennett R. Cole with the scenario. The film was submitted to the Pennsylvania censors under the title Paying the Piper. Morris' story was remade by Fox in 1923 as You Can't Get Away with It, with Rowland V. Lee directing. (See AFI Catalog of Feature Films, 1921-30; F2.6575.)
