After her show goes broke, Flo goes to stay with her cousin and his wife. John's wife Jane is anxious to enter society, but as his every moment is given to his work, he finds no time for social life. Seeing that Jane is made unhappy by his forced neglect, he entrusts her to his friend, Standing. Standing takes advantage of this to pay attention to Jane in order to learn John's secret. He has been offered for this a large bribe by a manufacturing concern. As soon as Flo joins the little family, she notices Standing's attentions. Suspicious of him, she makes herself a menace to his schemes by constantly forcing herself into his society. Later Flo places herself between the wife and husband; she protects the wife from a compromising position and is ordered from the house by John. Space does not permit of telling in detail of the gripping action that leads op to the situation. Flo returns to her ballroom in the big city. She finds a letter awaiting her, telling her to join a troupe. She is happy for the sacrifice she has made to save Jane's good name.
