Synopsis

American heiress Helen Stanton, while visiting London, is introduced to the Merethams, people of title but of bad repute. She meets Geoffrey Kingsward, who falls in love with Helen and tries to warn her but is unable to gain her confidence. Sir George induces his son, Allan, to woo Helen and thereby recoup the family fortune; when Sir George hears of her father's bankruptcy, he persuades her to pawn some jewels and lend him the money, with which he absconds. Helen is about to be arrested when Geoffrey comes to her aid; meanwhile, a letter arrives contradicting the report of her father's bankruptcy and advising her to marry Geoffrey.
