Synopsis by Janiss Garza

Alice Brady stars in this ordinary little programmer. Naive Doris Shaw (Brady) lives in a fishing village with her father, a religious fanatic. When artist Stuart Kendall (Crauford Kent) comes to the town, a romance develops between the two. But gossip forces Doris to leave home, so she goes to New York, where she and Kendall meet up once again. He puts her up in his studio so she can model for him and she goes along with it, not realizing that eventually there will be a price to pay. After seeing her picture in an advertisement, Westerner Jack Masterson (Curtis Cooksey) decides to meet her, and Doris falls in love with him. The jealous Kendall is determined to keep them apart so he surprises Doris with a wild party at the studio and tricks Masterson into showing up when it is at its rowdiest. Masterson walks out on Doris, who finally realizes that Kendall is a cad. She lets him have it verbally and Masterson overhears. She leaves town, but Masterson follows her onto the train and they are wed.
