Synopsis

Doris Kane suspects that the heart of her fiancé Paul Evans is otherwise engaged. She soon discovers that Paul is enamoured of vamp Jeanne DuPre. Paul's father Thomas refuses to accept his son's appalling lack of judgment and determines to break the hold that Jeanne has on him. After gaining Jeanne's love, Thomas offers her ten thousand dollars to free his son. He then arranges for Paul to discover the mercenary nature of his seductress. Properly chagrined, Paul begs Doris' forgiveness, and the two are reunited while Jeanne is left to suffer unrequited love.
