action
Michael Schuyler is said to have been blackmailed by a dancer who was holding incriminating letters about her affair with him. The press attacks Michael, who comes from a good family. Michael can silence Binji Baker from the Tribune with money, but Stew Smith is incorruptible.
Smith now gets into trouble with the young man's family. To make matters worse, he also fell in love with Michael's sister Anne. His colleague Gallagher gives him no chances. And yet Anne and the uncouth Smith are married after a short time. Smith soon moves into the manorial house of the Schuylers, with his wife trying to make a consummate gentleman out of him. Smith enjoys the good life first. But he can't hold back with his cynical comments, with which he repeatedly offends high society. Smith is comforted by Gallagher, realizes she is right for him, and is ready to agree to divorce Anne.
