Sylvia Landis promises to marry the wealthy but unprincipled Quarrier because of his social standing. Avarice is the only emotion that Sylvia feels towards her fiance, and when she meets Stephen Siward, a young man afflicted with alcoholism, she falls in love. With the aid of his friend Plank, Stephen fights bravely to cure himself. Plank is enamored of Leila Mortimer, whose husband is trying to blackmail Stephen and extort money from Quarrier. While the two star-crossed couples are dining at a hotel, Quarrier informs Mortimer that Plank is attempting to steal his wife. The two men rush to the hotel where they quarrel, and the drunken Mortimer shoots Quarrier. The dying Quarrier then picks up the revolver and shoots his assailant, thus clearing the path for the marriage of the two sets of lovers.
