After inheriting $200,000, Harry Tremaine starts to ignore his sweetheart, Alice Holbrook, and forgets all about his plans to market his new airplane motor. With money to burn for the first time in his life, Harry begins an expensive affair with Betty Belgrave, a cabaret dancer, but she leaves him as soon as his fortune is used up.
