Edna Johnson, a girl of the underworld, is employed by crooked politicians to carry out a "frame-up" on Richard Wade, who is running on the reform ticket for Mayor. They place Edna in an uptown apartment hotel, where she poses as a girl of good standing and a settlement worker. Here she meets Wade. A friendship springs up between them. Feigning sickness, she sends for Wade. While he is in her bedroom she throws her arms around him. The crooks in hiding behind the portieres take a flashlight of the scene and later tell Wade that they will publish the scandal. Wade leaves for the gold fields and strikes it rich. Two years later he meets Edna, who is now really in love with Travers, a clean cut young miner. Wade, to save Travers from an unhappy marriage, and to get revenge, tells him the story of Edna's life, and Travers breaks his engagement with Edna.
