Plot[]
As described in a film magazine,[4] left an orphan with $2,000 in cash, Marcel Middleton (Clayton) goes to visit some friends in New York City, where her phenomenal luck in bridge nets her funds for her support. Innocently, she falls in with a fast crowd and finds making ends meet a difficult task. Cleveland Buchanan (Cody) and Julian Chadwick (Cummings) become suitors, but their proposals do not include matrimony. With her luck at cards failing, she becomes indebted to Buchanan. When she refuses his attentions, he resolves to make himself worthy of her honest love and reforms himself. When Marcel obtains an engagement as a cloak model for fashionable customers, Chadwick makes plans for her ruin, but Buchanan rescues her in time and they are married.
