Synopsis by Janiss Garza
The vamp here isn't Theda Bara, or even one of her rivals like Valeska Suratt, but sweet young thing Enid Bennett. As Nancy Lyons, she is the wardrobe girl for a musical who is involved with settlement worker Robert Walsham (Douglas MacLean). She finally wrestles a marriage proposal out of him by taking the advice of her chorus girl friend and vamping him. The couple then move to a mining town, where he takes charge of Community House. Robert's uncle, James (Charles K. French), does not approve of their marriage until Nancy uses her newfound vamping skills to uncover a plot between labor agitator Phil Weil (Robert McKim) and a German spy, Fleming (Melbourne MacDowell).
