There she meets Dean De Witt, who, posing as an unmarried man, wins her affections and proposes to her. His wife discovers the deception, and after confronting the couple, she causes Dorris and her grandfather to be evicted from the hotel. Returning home, Dorris is turned out of her house and loses her position as a result of the scandal, but she finds a friend in banker's son James Holden, who gives her a position as secretary to his mother. Suspicion is again cast upon her when Mrs. De Witt recognizes her at a party, but she eventually establishes her innocence and finds happiness as James's wife. Written by AFI See less
