Synopsis
"A young man [played by Gladden James] with no other apparent occupation than to be a constant attendant at his club is in love with a girl [played by Gail Kane] who devotes herself to Red Cross work. His mother [played by Lillian Worth] thinks the girl isn't good enough for him, and his father [played by Arthur Donaldson] believes she is too good for the son. The father confides in a friend--an artist [played by J. Herbert Frank]--and they conspire to break down the opposition of the mother by having the artist, who is a libertine, lure the mother into becoming interested and compromised in and with the artist. By this means the mother, realizing the girl isn't so wicked, consents to the girl becoming her daughter-in-law." ( Variety, 12 Aug 1921, p34.)
