Callie is the daughter of a rich but heartless industrialist in Baltimore. She witnessed the heartbreaking death of her neglected mother, and now her father insists she marry to extend his business empire.

Frederick Cameron, the intended match for poor Callie, determines to test the young lady's noble insistence that she marry for love and not money. His grand scheme causes him to travel and step down from the high place of privilege, with startling results.

Only Basil Dermott, a young man from Nebraska with a nose for the truth and an eye to uncover wrongdoing, has the means to absolve Doris from these spurious accusations. In his quest, Basil discovers not just the missing riches, but Doris' heart too.
