Synopsis

Joyce Bragdon, of the insurance firm of Bragdon and Chadwick, in financial straits, attempts to enter the apartment of J. Anthony Creelman, a wealthy bachelor, to sell him an insurance policy. Failing to do so, she nevertheless manages to stave off angry creditors. Learning that Jack, a college chum of Creelman's, has died while engaged in exploration in Africa, she poses as his widow, and Creelman takes her to Jack's apartment. Meanwhile, Jack, who is not dead, arrives at his publisher's office, but because his reported death has increased sales of his book, he is advised to take an assumed name and shave off his beard. Joyce, playing the bereaved widow, is repulsed by Creelman's advances. Jack, perceiving the situation, pretends to be an old friend and becomes involved with Joyce. She attempts a getaway, but Jack follows and proposes to her.
