Plot

Based upon a review in a film publication,[3] the plot contrasts the corrupt gay life of the city with the dignity and wholesome life of people in the country. When Mary Horton (Brady) goes to the city seeking work but fails to find it, she is befriended by Hilda Newton (Anderson), a woman of questionable reputation. The friends of this woman are the sinners of the film and when word of Mary's association with them reaches home, there are some false accusations made against Mary. After Mary returns to her home, her city friends come to visit, leading to some dramatic situations.
