Plot



As described in a film magazine review, June Holton, the wife of steelworker Robert Holton, has an agreement with their boarder, George Rand, that in return for room and board, and the use of a shop in the back yard to experiment in, that he will share 50-50 with her the proceeds of any invention he may perfect, looking for a new process for making steel. He succeeds. Robert strikes a bargain with the comapny's board of directors that is satisfactory to him and George, but not to June. She compels the board to meet her terms: $1 million in cash, a royalty of $5 per ton to be paid to George, and the elevation of her husband to be president. Plunged into wealth and a position of power, they visit New York City, where Robert falls a victim to the wiles of Clarice Clement, a stage dancer, who is determined to attach his wealth by marrying him. She convinces Robert that his wife is in love with George, and he agrees to obtain a divorce. Just as the referee is about to grant the divorce, Robert learns that trickery has been practiced on his wife, and he withdraws the suit. The couple is reconciled after June, to maintain custody of her child, has denied that Robert was the boy's father.
