Her many capers at school bring protests from the president of the institute and the climax comes when Margaret is caught in the act of eloping with Al and expelled from school. Her older sister Nan is devoted to their father and engaged to William Clifton. Nan exerts herself greatly to develop the good in her sister, having taken the place of her mother who passed away when Margaret was little. Al is the son of a millionaire lawyer. His father's will is that the youth follow the same course in life as he and he showers his boy with every luxury, including unlimited finances and a racing automobile. His father's profession does not appeal to him and Al neglects the study of law, spending his time perfecting a new automobile device, it being his desire to pursue a mechanical career. The youth's habits become known to the father, who informs the youth that his income has been stopped until such time as he proposes to resume the study of law. Disregarding his father's wish, Al starts out to find employment for himself and applies for a position as a chauffeur. He is engaged by William Clifton. William arranges a weekend visit at the home of Nan, his fiancée, and is driven there by Al. It is then that Al sees Margaret again and they are later detected in a love scene by William and Nan. William discharges Al on the spot and the older sister rebukes Margaret for her conduct. William and Nan notice the change in Margaret and wonder at her brooding. William tries to console Margaret, who informs her prospective brother-in-law that she is the wife of Al and that it was a romance of several weeks previous. With pity for the girl, William folds her in his arms, assuring her that he will rectify matters. At this point Nan approaches the couple, and she gathers the impression that William and her younger sister are having a love scene. William's protests fall on deaf ears, but with a mission to perform he goes off satisfied that time will adjust matters. William goes to the city and seeks Al. He hears Al's story of having been cut off financially by his father and decides to go to the father and attempt to bring about a reconciliation. This proves unsuccessful. William is not defeated, however, for he telegraphs Margaret to come to the city at once, it being his plan to bring the girl face to face with her father-in-law. Margaret leaves her home rather mysteriously and later Nan finds the telegram from William, She is heartbroken and tells her father, who urges her to forget. Margaret goes to Al's father, and after much coaxing he finally accepts the girl as his daughter-in-law, forgives his son and there is a happy reunion. Margaret telegraphs her sister that she is coming home with her husband and asks forgiveness. When Nan reads the message she is horror-stricken, believing that William and Margaret have been married. Al and Margaret, with William and the millionaire, arrive at the Gilbert home. They are received by the father, who is wrought up over the whole affair until the correct circumstances are revealed and then he readily forgives. Nan has not made her appearance and she is sought by Margaret. With bowed head the older sister clasps hands with Al, feeling all the time that it is William. She finally raises her head and recognizes Al and realizes the folly of her thoughts. Asking forgiveness of her sister and William, Nan falls into William's embrace.
