Synopsis
Although she is engaged to the wealthy Freddy Ruyter, Barbara Wright prefers her father's handsome Irish chauffeur, Dan Murray, and marries him. The newlyweds struggle to survive on Dan's meager income, but Barbara's father, furious with them both, nearly destroys their happiness by securing Dan's dismissal from several jobs. Dan wins $300 in an auto race but immediately gives it to Minnie Molloy, whose ailing husband has been ordered West for his health. Unaware of the reason for Dan's actions, Barbara sadly returns to her triumphant father. Mr. Wright's lawyer offers Dan a large sum of money to have the marriage annulled, and when Dan refuses, the lawyer discovers the truth about his "other woman." Touched by Dan's generosity, Mr. Wright accepts him into the family, and Barbara happily returns to her husband.

Notes
The influenza epidemic May have delayed the film's general release until mid-November. Some scenes were shot in New York's Fifth Avenue shopping district, and at an automobile racetrack in Sheepshead Bay, NY. Variety commented about actor Tom Moore, "As a young Irishman with a characteristic Gaelic smile he is an ideal type."
