Synopsis by Hal Erickson

Chorus girl Jane Wallace (Bessie Barriscale) has earned the soubriquet "Iceberg" because of her refusal to compromise her values by leading the libertine lifestyle of her co-workers. Eventually, however, Jane begins to weaken and at one point nearly allows herself to be the "kept woman" of a millionaire. But fate takes a hand in matters when our heroine is called upon to help out during a premature childbirth. Witnessing her compassion during this emergency is poor-but-proud Dan Colby (Arthur Maude), who persuades Jane to give up show business to become his wife. Produced by Thomas H. Ince, The Reward provided a little extra employment for two veterans of Ince's William S. Hart pictures: actress Louise Glaum and screenwriter C. Gardner Sullivan.
