Synopsis
Bruce Marsden, a former millionaire fallen on bad times, marries Helen Stanhope against her mother's wishes. The ambitious Mrs. Stanhope encourages Anthony Stuart, a rich broker and rejected suitor of her daughter, to win Helen away from Marsden, and Stuart consequently hires Marsden to work in his firm. As Marsden works, Stuart lavishes his attentions on Helen, who sternly rejects all his advances. Undaunted, Stuart sends Marsden away on a business trip and invites Helen to attend an elegant reception. Dressed in an expensive gown, Helen leaves the affair with Stuart, followed by Marsden, who has returned early, suspicious of his wife's behavior. The couple ends up in a roadhouse where, spied by Marsden, Helen is denounced. After copper ore is discovered in his Montana mine, Marsden ruins Stuart by driving him to buy copper ore stock at inflated prices, and then is reconciled with Helen.
