Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Upon the death of her father, country girl Glory Moore (Frances Nelson) heads to the City to live with her aunt, Mrs. Lawrence (Leonore Harris). Unfortunately, Auntie is in cahoots with a gang of gamblers, and before long Glory is being used as a come-on for gullible suckers. One of the gamblers' victims is handsome Harvey Dix (Gladden James), with whom Glory instantly falls in love. The girl tips Harvey off to her cohorts' scheme, prompting the lad to head for the police. To avoid arrest, the villains frame Harvey on a murder charge, but Glory comes to the hero's rescue (reversing the usual procedure in the process).
