Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[4] Barbara Pelham, a young woman who arrives in New York City from the South to obtain an advance on her father’s cotton crop, is lured into staying at a disorderly house. It is here that Peter Heffner, the broker from whom she sought a loan, makes unwelcome advances to her. She flees the house just prior to it being raided by the police. Later she meets Neil Heffner, the son of the broker. A friendship that ripens to love forms between the young people. The young man’s father tries to discredit the young woman by calling her a prostitute, but her name is cleared by an explanation by Mrs. Kemp, who was the keeper of the resort.
