Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[2] unwise investments wipe out Dumont, formerly a wealthy man. He drowns himself and three estate trustees discuss the penniless wife. They “invest” $30,000 in her and she uses the money to pay off her husband’s debts. The three men then vie for Nancy’s hand, but Davis, learning her true market value, finally buys out the others and gets Nancy’s love and hand in the bargain.
