Debutante Hope Merrill returns home one day to find her financier father Amos Merrill on the verge of committing suicide. Rather than reveal the truth -- that he has misappropriated funds from his own company -- Merrill claims that he has been ruined by young John Cook, Hope's sweetheart.

Believed to be a lost film. A woman's reputation is sullied, and then recovers. Based on the poem "Reveries of a Station House" by Ella Wheeler Wilcox.
