Synopsis
After small town attorney Deane Kendall wins an important case, he is lured to the city by a prestigious law firm. Accompanying him is his wife Edith, who retains her small town ways and hence does not fit into her husband's new social world. When adventuress Georgia Wilson meets the promising attorney, she falls in love and determines to break up his marriage. Georgia arranges for artist Charles Madison to lure Edith to his apartments and then seduce her. Resisting his advances, Edith flees back to the innocent town of Harmony. Soon after, Kendall arrives, informed by Georgia that his wife is with Madison. However, the artist's mistress, who witnessed the incident, testifies to Edith's purity, and Kendall follows Edith back to their home town where they are reconciled.
