As described in a film magazine review,[2] millionaire Harry Canby saves a young woman from thugs by acting as the driver of her taxi. The woman disappears and he meets her again at a party, and finds out that she is Vera Norris, a musical comedy star. She refuses to recognize him. He again saves her when the manager and the husband of a rival star has her kidnaped so that his wife can play her part and so he can produce someone to get the young woman’s money in her stead.
