Mrs. Stanton, the wife of a prominent broker, confesses to her daughter Winifred that she is a kleptomaniac.

Hoping to start a new life, the family moves to a small New England town, and an attachment soon develops between Winifred and George Chartris, a young judge. When Mrs. Chartris discovers that her jeweled pin is missing after a visit to the Stanton home, Winifred is unjustly arrested but accepts the blame in order to save her mother further embarrassment. George, who is presiding over the trial, refuses to believe that Winifred is guilty and after some digging, discovers that the real thief is Mrs. Stanton's landlady. Through her daughter's sacrifice, Mrs. Stanton is cured of her vice and reconciled to her husband. George and Winifred become engaged.

When the tourist returns home, he discovers that his girlfriend has married a horseman, both of whom have journeyed to the Arabian desert. Imar's master attacks the trader's wife. Her husband then accuses her of infidelity and starts to beat her. Imar recognizes her from the picture given to him by his American friend and rescues her. They both traverse the desert and meet her former fiancé, who has been sent for. Her husband and Imar's master are slain, leaving the three friends free of any retribution.
