Plot
editBased upon a summary in a film publication,[2] a minister's son, David Marlowe (Frazer), gets drunk and marries chorus girl Ember (Nilsson), and then forges a check and flees. Ember then decides to leave the straight and narrow path and charges some gowns to Bunny Fish (Schable), the man her husband had robbed. When she hears that her husband has returned with money to repay his debt, she changes her mind and returns the clothing. Later, when she believes David has killed Bunny Fish because of his attention towards her, but it turns out that Fish is only slightly hurt. Palter (Lane), the owner of the establishment where David first got intoxicated, has become so interested in David's regeneration that he remembers him in his will, and just before he dies, he also signs over some bonds to Ember after learning that she has remained faithful to her husband.
