She leaves home following a quarrel with her father, William Hale, and moves into Gordon's apartment while he takes up residence at his club. Gordon's former mistress, actress Greta Verlaine, finds Mary at the apartment and forces her to leave. The distraught William traces Mary to the apartment and accidentally shoots Greta, mistaking her for his erring daughter. Although Gordon is blamed for the murder, William confesses, and the wealthy playboy spends his entire fortune to win an acquittal. After Mary and Gordon are married, he settles down to work for a living. Written by AFI See less
