Synopsis

Whispers are heard in the social circle of Daphne Morton because of her constant association with Dyke Summers, a married man. One night while Daphne is attending the opera with Summers, his wife spots the illicit couple, a clash erupts, and the account of the affair appears in the scandal sheet the next morning. After a quarrel with her aunt, the humiliated Daphne decides to go to Washington to seek out her father whom she has not seen since she was a child. There she meets Pat Darrick, a young reporter assigned to the Summers scandal. Unaware that Daphne is the girl in the case, Darrick falls in love with her. Summers also follows Daphne to Washington, and when Darrick sees her with her alleged lover, he is hurt and disillusioned. Daphne finally locates her father in a nearby town, where Darrick and Summers follow her. Learning the truth, Darrick abandons his job on the scandal sheet for the love of Daphne.
