Plot

As described in a film magazine,^[4] Sophie Carey (Rubens), a wealthy lady married to worthless cur Don Carey (Sedley), wrote letters to Judge Walbrough (MacQuarrie) before her marriage. Booking agent Morris Beiner (Donaldson) has obtained these letters and attempts to blackmail the judge. Clancy Deane (Huban), a young woman from the country who has been lured to Broadway by its bright lights, finds lodging in a cheap theatrical boarding house. She meets a man and his wife who direct the aspiring actress to the theatrical agent. At his office, Clancy repulses his advances, and the agent falls and is stunned. Sophie also goes to the agent's office, where he is later found dead and a piece of Sophie's gown is the only clue the police have to the murder. Several other people emerge as possible suspects to the crime, and in the end Sophie's husband is trapped and confesses his guilt.
