Plot
As described in a film magazine review,[3] Miles, lover of Marie Lamont, leaves her because he believes her to be untrue. She rises to fame as an actress and infatuates the youthful Philip Tranter. Philip’s mother begs Miles to save Philip from the woman. Miles succeeds in having Marie break several engagements with Philip. Philip, unable to restrain himself, breaks into Marie’s apartment and finds her in the arms of Miles. He threatens them both with a gun. Marie declares that she was only playing with Miles, and thus saves him. Philip, certain that she does not love him, also leaves. Marie dashes across New York in her car, stops Miles as he is boarding a ship, and they declare their mutual love.
