Synopsis
Helen Wynton, a society reporter on the Argus , becomes friendly with Etta Stampa who confides that she is heartbroken because her father has disowned her following a love affair she had some years ago. Sent to St. Moritz on a story, Helen determines to seek out Etta's father, a Swiss mountain guide, to reconcile him with his daughter. Pursuing Helen to St. Moritz is Mark Bower, an unscrupulous man of wealth. Hearing of Bower's trip, Charles Spencer, who is in love with Helen, follows, arriving in time to save Helen from Bower's advances atop a deserted mountain. Afterwards, Helen persuades Etta's father to forgive his daughter. However, Bower has not given up his pursuit of Helen, and assaults her again at Lookout Lodge. Stampa, learning that Bower was his daughter's betrayer, follows him and, in their ensuing fight, Bower falls from a cliff and is killed.

Notes
This was the first film made by Louis Tracy Productions, Inc. Author Louis Tracy was knighted by King George of England while the film was in production. Many scenes were shot at Lake Placid, NY. Motion Picture News credits the camera work to Adolf Mueller, but this appears to be a mistake.
