Synopsis

When it comes to choosing her lovers, actress Nina Seabury is only interested in their bank accounts. She miscalculates, however, in the case of Emory Townsend, and believes him to be a bank president when he is really just a cashier. Hoping to afford Nina's tastes, Emory steals $12,000 in bank funds, but Nina still breaks up with him. Then, Emory falls in love with Mary Winslow. A few months after their marriage, however, a detective working on the bank funds case finds evidence implicating Emory. Aware that he is about to be arrested, a desperate Emory goes to Nina and begs her to give him $12,000, so he can return the money to the bank. Nina refuses, but then Mary, who is pregnant, arrives and, after pulling a gun on Nina, forces her to write a check for the whole amount, thereby saving Emory from jail.
