Synopsis
Following her mother's advice to marry for wealth, model Marcia Ventnor turns down the proposal of Oliver Lawton, whom she loves, so as to accept wealthy George Hunt, an importer of oriental rugs. They go to Turkey on their honeymoon, and Hunt enlists her charms to secure a contract from rugmaker Afeif Bey, whose infatuation with Marcia provokes her husband's jealousy. The Hunts return home, and following Hunt's death she meets Lawton, who is sent to Turkey on the same mission, and she promises to marry him if he obtains the contract. He also is infuriated and tries to kill her, but with a trick knife. Realizing his seriousness, she is reunited with him, and they are married.
