Synopsis

Cardsharp Babe Stewart hides out in upstate New York when his irate partner and mistress, Kay, threatens to turn him over to the police. There he meets Mary, daughter of local hardware store proprietor Randall; marries her; returns to New York City; and obtains a position in a brokerage office. While he is eating his birthday dinner, detectives tipped off by Kay arrive and arrest him for cardsharping. Sentenced to a 6-month prison term, Babe leads Mary to believe that he is going on a business trip to Buenos Aires, and he arranges with a friend to have letters mailed to her periodically from there. Babe tries to tell Mary the truth when he is released, but she will not listen and continues the deception for the sake of their expected child.
