When Marquita Shay, the adopted daughter of Canadian farmer John Grayson, reaches womanhood, Grayson enrolls her in a St. Louis boarding school where she meets and marries Humphrey Wells, the son of a wealthy financier.

She discovers that Grayson has committed suicide after falling victim to a phony stock deal perpetrated by Wells senior.
