Plot
Despite urging of wife Marion (Gail Kane) and young daughter Vivian (Juliette Moore), Raymond Edwards (Robert Elliot) intensifies his affair with charming adventuress Lucille Stanton (Sally Crute). Marion attends a reception with Frederick Barton one evening, leaving Raymond free to visit Lucille and leaving Raymond's younger sister Alice (Tallulah Bankhead) alone in the house. Bob Gardner (Jack McLean), who is engaged to Raymond's elder sister Florence, rapes Alice, and that same evening, Raymond finds Frederick in Lucille's room. Realizing the great pain he has caused his wife, Raymond asks for Marion's forgiveness. Bob is killed in a fight with Frederick, whereupon his brother, Dick Gardner (Reid Hamilton), offers to marry Alice to atone for Bob's wrong.
