Synopsis

Upon coming into her inheritance, convent-bred Mary Grant, desirous of seeing the world, ventures to Monte Carlo. Attracting attention because of her winnings, Mary meets Prince Vanno Della Robbia, who falls in love with her. The prince introduces Mary to his brother Angelo and Angelo's bride Marie Grant. Mary recognizes Marie as the girl who scandalized the convent by running away with a married man, but, moved by her schoolmate's pleas, keeps her secret. Idina Bland, however, enraged at Prince Angelo's marriage, exposes the scandal. In the absence of Prince Vanno, Marie falsely asserts that the story is not hers, but that of Mary Grant who, by her silence, seems to admit guilt. Mary leaves Monte Carlo, but an old friend, Molly Maxwell, arrives and exposes the truth. Prince Vanno goes in search of the innocent Mary, arriving in time to save his love from adventurers who are attempting to steal her wealth.
