As described in a film magazine review,[3] Helen Marrimore, daughter of a wealthy mine owner, is dubbed “The girl of gold” by society, and snubbed by them. She attends a house party under an assumed name, and she meets Schuyler Livingstone, and sister Ada, shorn of their wealth in Wall Street. Her father meets Schuyler through a motor accident and he decides his daughter shall marry Schuyler. He consents for his sister’s sake.
