Plot edit
As described in a film magazine review,[2] a young man who prefers legal practice to a life of ease is engaged by a wealthy woman to investigate the past of her niece, whom she wishes to adopt. He falls in love with the girl as soon as he sees her, though he has no sympathy for many of her ideas and for her manner of living. After a series of incidents that almost result in his going to prison, the young attorney overcomes the young woman’s false notions about success. Then a wedding is arranged.
