Synopsis
Katherine Van Riper, a society girl with extravagant tastes, is left with only a few dollars by her spendthrift father and is unable to pay her creditors. She is refused help by her wealthy aunts, who insist that she marry Monte Buck, son of an oil king. When her situation becomes desperate, Katherine decides to sell the Van Riper pearls. She discovers, however, that her father substituted imitations and sold the real jewels, and in despair she refuses to marry Tom Jaffrey, whom she loves. To keep the family honor intact, the aunts cover her loss with a check, and Katherine then promises to marry Tom.
