Summary

Harry Lathrop, a scion of inherited wealth, plunges into a maelstrom of unbridled extravagance, his days defined by Dionysian revelries and the fleeting company of chorus girls. This sybaritic existence crumbles when his childhood confidante and fiancée, Betty Dalrymple, severs their engagement, repulsed by his inebriated state at a crucial dinner. Shaken by this profound rejection and the ignominy of a particularly harsh "morning after," Harry resolves upon a radical metamorphosis. He enlists his attorney to embargo his fortune for a year, seeking a path of self-reliance. Adopting anonymity in a distant city, he finds employment first as a handyman, then ascends to the management of a refined kennel on the estate of Mrs. Johnston DeLong — coincidentally, Betty's aunt. The rekindling of their acquaintance is fraught with Betty's initial disdain for his perceived low station. However, Harry's resolve solidifies when he observes the predatory attentions of Walter Randall, a notorious rake whose chauffeur brazenly boasts of his master's magnetic pull over women. When Betty steadfastly resists Randall's advances, the cad resorts to abduction, spiriting her away to a desolate cabin. Harry, ever vigilant, pursues them, engaging Randall and his accomplice in a visceral confrontation. Amidst a torrential downpour, he triumphs, rescuing Betty, who, in a cathartic embrace, finally recognizes his transformed worth.
