Plot
As described in a film magazine,[3] because her father warns her that alcoholism is a trait that has been inherited by the Winthrops over four generations, Helen Winthrop (Frederick) breaks her engagement to Robert Craig (Sills) for fear of bringing children into the world that are predisposed to drunkenness. They separate and Helen visits Stella Scarr (Travers), an old friend. When Stella foolishly deceives her husband Sidney (Northrup), Helen shields her and is disgraced. Percy Farwell (Hiers), newly rich, becomes enamored of her, and his mother (Titus) hires Robert to break up their supposed affair. Helen feigns drunkenness at the betrothal dinner and is able to prove Robert's love for her. They then resume their engagement.
