The death of his father leaves young Payne Forsythe entirely alone in the world. The Forsythe money has gone; the Forsythe family had died. One desperate situation tumbles after the other.

Dukes Cortwright, a young millionaire, and falls in love with his charming sister, Louise, at a bridge party. Time ...
