An American traveling in Paris falls in love with her, but when he learns of her profession, he will have nothing to do with her. Broken hearted, she goes to the United States were she meets his brother, and the brother falls in love with her, too. Although he is warned that the young woman is not worthy, he disregards his brother's warning, and continues his romance with her.
