When her father goes broke in the stock market, Jane Lee (Ruth Stonehouse) is forced to leave her prestigious boarding school. Glad-handing John Brock (Henry Defries), an old friend of Jane's father, arranges for the girl to be hired as his stenographer. But Brock's lecherous ulterior motives become obvious when he locks Jane in the office and tries to rape her. When she manages to escape his advances, Brock vengefully frames the girl on a robbery charge. Sentenced to six months in prison, Jane manages to put her life back together upon release, even reforming the wastrel son (Jack Mulhall) of the judge who sent her up the river. Alas, when she attempts to rescue another girl from the clutches of yet another lech, she is arrested for murder and sentenced to be electrocuted. Jane is saved only by the deathbed confession of John Brock, the man who caused all her troubles in the first place.
