Plot
As described in a film magazine, Yvonne (La Rue), an actress, murders her husband following a quarrel, and upon threat of exposure promises to marry Billy (Spingler), a chorus man who has discovered her guilt. When she refuses to carry out her agreement and accepts the attentions of a wealthy broker, Billy (Spingler) tells his story to 'The Leader', a newspaper. Mac (McDaniel), the city editor, assigns Alma (Brunette), a woman reporter, the task of securing Yvonne's confession to verify the story that was given to the newspaper. She is a sister of Billy but is unaware of his involvement in the story. After securing the confession, Alma discovers Billy's involvement, but still telephones her scoop to the newspaper. Much to her surprise, the exposure of her brother's involvement fails to discourage the love of Mac for her, and the final closeup finds Mac and Alma married.
