Disinherited by his father because of a runaway match with Ora Miles, a typist, Gordon Ames secures a position as secretary to Hale, an elderly millionaire. Hale accidentally meets Ora. Ignorant of her identity, he falls in love with her. A year after the birth of her baby, Ora learns that Gordon's father offers to forgive him, providing he leaves her. Realizing that her husband is breaking down as the result of overwork, Ora, on the impulse of the moment, decides to sacrifice her happiness for his sake. Leaving home, she establishes a residence in a western state and later secures a divorce. Gordon thus freed, Ora returns east. She again meets Hale. He offers her a position, which she accepts. Too late, Ora learns that her sacrifice has been in vain, that Gordon's father died without forgiving him. Hale proposes to Ora. Thinking of the comforts her wealth would provide for her child, who has remained in Gordon's care, Ora agrees to marry the millionaire. Elaine, the old nurse who is taking care of Ora's baby, learns of the approaching marriage. Her effort to prevent it causes the woman to take Ora's baby and place her on the veranda of the Hale mansion, on the day of the ceremony. The child, however, wanders into the street and is injured by an automobile. Ora and Hale are about to be wed when a policeman brings the infant into the house with the request that he and the child be allowed to remain until the arrival of the ambulance. Ora, recognizing her baby, throws her arms about the child. Gordon, watching the ceremony from an adjoining room, enters and kneels by his wife's side. Ora then realizes where her happiness lies and bravely declares her intention of facing the future with Gordon.
