Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] Alice Lambert (Stewart), after spending ten years in idleness and luxury, finds herself without funds and must make her way in the world. She becomes a cloak model, but the proprietor of the shop proves to be a despicable character and she leaves when he attempts to embrace her. She next secures work as an artist's model, but flees from the studio half clad when the artist attempts to make violent love to her. She seeks refuge in another studio belonging to artist David Leighton (McGrail), who prevents her suicide by offering to loan her $50,000. In return, she is to take out a life insurance policy for $75,000 for one year. At the end of the year, of course, she is supposed to die and David would be ahead by $25,000. This scheme results in several incidents and a happy ending.
