Plot

Senator Jim Blake and his son-in-law Mark Robertson hires an investigator to find dirt on Senator Matthew Standish, their political opponent. The investigator finds that, years earlier, Standish had spent a night in a hotel with a stranger whom the former senator's secretary, bribed by the detective, describes only as "a lady from a good family". Blake and Robertson try in every way to find out who the woman may be - and approach Wanda Kelly, a receptionist, to help them discover her name. Wanda learns that Grace, the mysterious woman, is Blake's daughter also Robertson's wife; she then destroys the evidence in her possession and refuses their bribe, even when threatened with arrest. Grace, realizing the troubles the girl could face because of him, confesses. Wanda, for her determination and honesty, arouses the admiration of Blake who does not pose any obstacles to the love story between her and her son.
