Synopsis
While driving through the streets of Washington, D.C., Penelope Brantford, young, rich and impressionable, is saved from hitting a child with her car by the intervention of the handsome but calculating Langdon Grier. By chance the two meet again and romance quickly grows, climaxing at the Army and Navy Ball. Confident of his hold over her, greedy Grier invites Penelope to a party at his apartment where he supplies her with wine and amorous attentions. Penelope has gone to the party against her father's wishes, and when she returns that night, ill from too much drinking, she is seized by guilt and visions. The Spirit of Virtue and the Spirit of Evil take her on an allegorical journey through the cardinal sins, a court of love and other revelries. She ends up a discarded, shrivelled old woman but is given a chance to repent and redeem herself by the Spirit of Virtue. Eager to reform, Penelope denounces Grier and then wakes up from the dream and rushes to confess her sin to her forgiving father.
