- Wanting to escape from the drab life of the country, Helen Wayne moves to the big city and becomes a secretary for the Calder family. Just before beginning her new job, however, Helen meets a man who promises to take the hungry girl to dinner. When she goes to the prearranged meeting place, she is arrested and her name is put on the police record. Some time later, Helen and young Rand Calder fall in love. As they are about to announce their engagement, Martin Ingleton, the man who earlier had caused Helen's arrest, attempts to ruin Rand's business ventures. When all of the principals go to court to fight the issue, Ingleton recognizes Helen and tries to label her a woman of unworthy character. Instead of causing Rand to admonish her, however, Ingleton instigates Helen to tell the judge her story and she is exonerated.—Pamela Short
- Helen Wayne is living in a small town, studying stenography. An aeroplane falls near her home, and Rand Calder, its pilot, is injured. Helen aids in sending him home. Later, she goes to the city, and just as her funds become exhausted, is employed by Mrs. Calder as private secretary, also to do research work for Rand, who is perfecting an aeroplane stabilizer, and is anxious to complete it ahead of his rivals, the Manson Aeroplane Company. Before taking up her duties Helen goes to the library in search of a book on aeroplanes, and meets Martin Ingleton, an attorney who lives next door to the Calders. He induces the hungry girl to accompany him to dinner, and as she meets Ingleton later she is arrested on suspicion and taken to jail. Appearances are against her, and although she is freed, she is placed on record. Constant companionship between Helen and Rand ripens into love, and when Rand proposes, Helen accepts. Ingleton meets Helen and at his request she goes to his house at night. He threatens her with exposure unless she assists him in his betrayal of Calder's invention to the Mason Company. Upon her refusal, Ingleton arranges a visit to the night court, inviting Helen and Mrs. Calder at a time when he believes Rand out of town. The party goes to the Judge's chambers and a discussion of the fingerprint system is started. Just as Helen's card is being shown to Mrs. Calder Hand enters. With exposure inevitable, Helen tells her own story, accusing Ingleton of being a traitor. He is defiant until the Judge destroys Helen's card when he slinks away, and Helen turns to her lover.—Moving Picture World synopsis
