Synopsis

Before going to war Geoffrey Farnell falls in love with Eleanor Ross-Fayne, who unbeknowst to him is the sister of his comrade Clive. He thinks the latter is killed in action.

Returning from the war as a captain, and finding a soldier's welcome, (meaning no job and no cash!) Geoffrey Farnell while waiting the outcome of a $100,000 suit against a steel corporation is forced to take an uncongenial place on the staff of a scandal-hunting newspaper.

The editor, Hardcastle, gives Farnell warning that his stories lack the hectic pep his readers demand. He is sent to find a society divorcee who has sunk to the level of a cheap concert hall. He finds her begging the manager not to send her off to the hospital to die. Farnell is touched with pity and when she staggers to the street in her scanty stage costumes he takes her to his apartment.
