To secure her fortune for a new marriage, Elizabeth enlists the help of penniless playwright Jasper Mallory, offering him $50,000 to enter into a marriage of convenience.

As Elizabeth orchestrates her future, she collaborates with actress Mme. Albani to create the necessary grounds for a quick divorce. This narrative intertwines elements of comedy and drama, reflecting the social dynamics of the era. The film was produced by Metro Pictures Corporation, a key player in early 20th-century cinema.
