Young high school teacher Rosalie Allen rejects the love of Dr. Paul Duncan to "save" Lionel Brooks, a man down on his luck. Rosalie finances Lionel's law school education; and after graduation, when he wins a job with a large corporation, their future appears bright. Brooks meets the daughter of a rich banker, however, and jilts Rosalie for her, breaking the teacher's heart.
