Synopsis

Olive Muir, a haughty society girl, objects when Alice Prentice, a girl of lower station, comes to visit her family. After Alice's drunken father comes to visit the Muir home, Olive learns to her horror that she is adopted and that Prentice is her real father. Humbled, Olive leaves for the West to see her newfound mother, who is ill, and stay with the Prentices. There she becomes involved in a political battle between Kavanaugh, a political boss who desires Olive and controls her father, and Kent Ordway, a district attorney who befriends Olive. Getting wind of a plan to kill Ordway, Olive convinces her father to warn the young man; a huge fight breaks out in Ordway's house, in which Kavanaugh kills Prentice. Back in the Muir home, Olive, learning that her fiancé Dick and Alice love each other, clears the way for their union, then tells Ordway that she loves him.
