She keeps them all at bay until she accidentally learns that her father is facing bankruptcy. Without his knowledge she marries Whitely at once, realizing after the ceremony that she loves him. Hanley, believing himself justified, tells Whitely that she married him for his money. Whitely denounces her and they part. But after Whitely quickly learns the truth and seeks to find his lost bride. Angela applies for a divorce and accepts Slade's proposal as effective as soon as the divorce is granted. A rumored accident involving Whitely brings Angela back to a realization of her love. When the two finally locate each other both are ready for a reconciliation.
