Synopsis
After becoming an orphan, Ruth Travers goes to live with young millionaire Jimmy Carter, who takes a fatherly interest in his new ward. Mortimer Reynolds, however, who ruined the financial empire of Ruth's father, also takes an interest in the girl, but one that is not paternal. He attempts to rape her, and knocks out Jimmy when he tries to save Ruth. Finally, the police shoot Mortimer, who is wanted on a forgery charge, and Ruth returns to Jimmy, after which she and her guardian realize that they have fallen in love, and then make plans to marry.
