Although engaged to elderly Dr. Webster, when Ruth Stanley meets athlete Jack Bowling, the two young people are immediately attracted to each other. While Webster is out of town on business, Ruth and Jack find themselves unable to control their desire, so the doctor returns to find Ruth pregnant and begging him for an abortion. Webster refuses and attempts to arrange a marriage between Jack and Ruth, but Ruth is too proud and refuses. Jack is forced to leave Ruth to join his teammates in the international games, but upon his return, he continues his suit. To test Jack's love, Webster tells him that he has aborted Ruth's baby and when Jack, outraged, threatens to sue the doctor, Ruth finally relents and accepts Jack's love.
