The drama itself has already won a big place in the hearts of the American public, and the celluloid presentation even surpasses the well-known stage version. It is thrillingly human and one of the best Paramounts, so let nothing keep you away—you will thoroughly enjoy every bit of it. Pike, a country lawyer, loves Ethel, daughter of a very rich farmer. Simpson, wishing his children, Ethel and her brother Horace, to be well educated, sends them to Europe. At Simpson's death, Pike is appointed guardian ot Ethel and Horace.

Ethel and Horace become snobs, but overjoyed at the great fortune of marrying a title, Ethel writes Pike telling him all about it.
