Synopsis by Janiss Garza
After the suicide of her inventor husband, Mary Dexter (Gail Kane) becomes involved with some grafters in D.C. Foolishly, she believes she is fighting for what's right and ruins the career of Congressman Drake (Frank Goldsmith). Next, she is asked to work on another congressman, Robert Moorhead (House Peters), who is known for his honesty. But she comes to the realization that the people she is working with are crooked and instead urges Moorhead to fight in behalf of the bill she originally wanted him to avoid. He does and the bill passes. Drake makes an unsuccessful attempt at Mary's life, and Moorhead marries her.
