Sins of Great Cities Synopsis
After her father's sudden death Dorothy Reynolds finds a temporary home with her friends, Paul and Irene Walter. Monty Sullivan, an adventurer and proprietor of the ill-famed "Red Mouse," represents himself to her as a former business friend of her father, and arranges to have his manager offer Dorothy an engagement at the "Red Mouse," which she, much to her distaste, accepts. In order to ensnare her he soon proposes marriage to her. One of Sullivan's butlers, garbed as a minister, officiates at the mock-marriage, which takes place at Sullivan's home. Dorothy discovers the plot, and at once returns to her friends, through whom she obtains an engagement at the Casino theater. After a successful debut she becomes acquainted with Judge Walcott, who falls in love with her, and after a short while he proposes to her. Sullivan, who has not lost track of his intended victim, threatens to denounce her as his former mistress unless she leaves Walcott. Paul, learning of this, shoots Sullivan, who sends for Dorothy and Walcott and with his last breath brands her. Walcott thrusts her aside, but her grief soon turns into happiness when Walcott learns the truth, whereupon he and Dorothy face a happy future.
