Synopsis
Dorothy Warner, a ten-dollar-a-week shopgirl, is saved from arrest by Congressman George Graham, who spots her in a store stealing a doll for her sick sister. Afterwards, Graham takes Dorothy home, where her sister has just died, and later hires her as his secretary. The dandyish Graham then invites Dorothy for a drive, and when a storm blows in the couple is forced to spend the night together in a country inn. With her honor compromised, Dorothy suggests marriage, but Graham informs her that he has a wife already. Deeply in love, Dorothy accepts an extramarital arrangement and soon discovers she is pregnant. Taken with Dorothy's beauty, Steve McNott, a political boss, resolves to win her and writes to Graham's wife, telling her of her husband's affair. At first unbelieving, Mrs. Graham eventually sees Dorothy and demands that she terminate the relationship. Despite protests from Graham, Dorothy agrees never to see the Congressman again and goes off.
