Enlisting the aid of Don, her sweetheart, who is employed in the same office, Doris saves her father from disgrace. As the result, however, the crime is shifted to Don's shoulders and the boy is sent to prison. This, although Hall, his employer, believes him innocent. Later, Cadwell compels Doris to become engaged to Lane, a man of wealth. Determined to wed no one but Don, Doris fascinates Harris, one of the prison guards, and induces him to aid her in her plan to free Don. In turn, she promises to become Harris's wife. Don escapes from jail, aided by the keeper. The two are joined by Doris and make a break for liberty in the girl's auto.
