As described in a film magazine reviews,[3] Mary Hale, employed in a department store, arouses the displeasure of her boss because she shirks her work. Gordon Kent, a rounder, is turned down by another clerk, and flirts with Mary and she loses her job. To spite her fiancé, William Norworth, the assistant manager, she drives away in Kent’s automobile. They land at her home early in the morning just as her father, a night watchman, is returning home. He scolds and slaps her and, when she meets Kent the next day, she tells him that she has left home. He persuades her to come to his home for the night and he goes to the club. Greta, a chorus girl who is his mistress, comes to the house and kicks Mary out. Mary’s father also appears on the scene, mistakes Greta, who has hidden in bed, for Mary and shoots her dead. The next morning Kent discovers the tragedy, blames himself for it, and confesses the crime to save Mary’s reputation. Her father, however, finally confesses.
