Synopsis
Rita Jordan leaves her small daughter Edna and elopes with James Shaw, a gambler, when her publisher husband Albert is paralyzed from the waist down. Unable to work in publishing any longer, Albert is reduced to running a newsstand until he meets a faith healer who assures him that he can be cured. Prayer does indeed work, and a healthy Albert once again becomes a success in business. Edna, meanwhile, has married Assistant District Attorney Frank Rollins, who has been assigned to investigate some of the less reputable nightclubs and dance halls. One evening, Albert, still full of evangelical zeal, accompanies Frank, and in one of the clubs they meet Rita, who, through her association with James, has lost all of her money and social standing. Rita and Albert are reconciled, and she agrees with his suggestion that she go to a convent to reform, after first getting Albert's permission to see Edna for the last time.
