Plot
As described in a film magazine reviews, Phyllis Dale, young widowed authoress and newspaper writer, is respected and admired by Lawrence Emmett. Bobby, her young flapper daughter, has an interesting line which she uses on all men. When she tries it on Emmett, he whims her. Phyllis thinks Bobby has supplanted her in his affections and decides to step aside in Bobbys interest. Soon after, Bobby innocently steps in for a moment to the apartment of one of her loose-moraled friends. His wife is looking for a co-respondent in her forthcoming divorce proceedings. Phyllis accidentally learns where Bobby is and hastens to the apartment, only to become enmeshed herself. Bobby, thoroughly and sincerely conscience stricken by the turn of affairs and realizing how much her mother was willing to sacrifice for her, vindicates Phyllis in the eyes of Emmett, who has followed her to the apartment, and marries the editor of the local newspaper who has suppressed the scandalous headlines.
