Synopsis
While developing a powerful explosive, naval officer Paul Towne introduces his friend, Richard Tracy, to Judith Corbin, his friend since childhood. For years, Paul had assumed that he would marry Judith, but when Richard proposes, Judith, tired of waiting for Paul, accepts. Soon after the marriage, Richard becomes more interested in the new explosive than in his new wife, and to pay off gambling debts, he agrees to steal the formula and sell it to a foreign government. While spying at close range on a test of the explosive, however, Richard is killed, after which Judith, who has long since realized her mistake in becoming Richard's wife, accepts Paul's marriage proposal.

Notes
The original title of the film was Reparation. According to the publicity included in the copyright descriptions, Paying the Price was made in cooperation with the U.S. Government, who allowed William A. Brady to shoot scenes aboard the U.S. torpedo boat destroyer Wadsworth. Some scenes were shot at Newport, RI; in and around government buildings in Washington, D.C.; at City Island, NY; and off the New Jersey coast.
