Jim Melcher, a swindler and a rogue, induces Rhoda, a society girl, to marry him. She later discovers his dishonest methods, but her sense of loyalty is so great that she stands by him. He is planning to pull off the biggest robbery of his career and insists that she assist him. She agrees to and goes in answer to an ad for a companion to Miss Herrick, in whose home the robbery is to take place. She is accepted. Here she meets Captain Featherstone and falls in love with him. She is now determined not to help her husband, and on the night he had planned to carry out his scheme, she rebels. He makes the attempt alone, and is killed by a detective. Captain Featherstone then proposes to Rhoda, overlooking her past life and unfortunate marriage to Melcher.
