Plot

Story of a man who disregards the quiet affection of a fine girl to marry a frivolous actress with whom he is infatuated.

When he does he places his little daughter in her care.[2]

The characters played respectively by Alice Hollister and Anna Nelson are "contrasting roles (that) make for an interesting commentary on the changing role of women in the early 20th century."[3]
