Synopsis

When Judge Lee Sands, an aristocratic Southern gentleman, is ruined by high-powered Wall Street tycoon Peter Brownley, his daughter Beulah tries to retaliate by getting a job in Peter's office. She manages to obtain secret information from Peter, which her father then tries to use to rebuild his own fortune and make Peter's collapse. At the office, Beulah meets Peter's son Robert, and they fall in love at first sight. In spite of the romance, Beulah still makes clandestine phone calls to her father, providing him with privileged information. When Robert catches her, however, he locks her in the closet until the stock market closes. Later, when he lets her out, she apologizes and he forgives her. They then begin planning their marriage, which leads to a reconciliation between Peter and the judge.
