Pauline, jeune et riche héritière, repousse son mariage avec Harry, souhaitant d'abord connaître une « vie d'aventures ». Ne pouvant hériter qu'à la seule condition de se marier, sa fortune est administrée jusqu'à nouvel ordre par Owen, secrétaire du défunt Sanford Marvin. Se voyant placé définitivement à la tête de cet empire financier, s'il arrivait malheur à Pauline, le machiavélique Owen décide de supprimer celle-ci par tous les moyens, avec la complicité récurrente d'un dénommé Hicks.

An officer in the U.S. Cavalry sacrifices his reputation to save that of the unfaithful wife of his superior officer.

On the trail of counterfeiters Detective Craig is on their trail. Suspicion falls on James Dalton who passes bad money through unsuspecting "fences." Dalton plants bad bills on young Bob Brierly and when it is detected Dalton, as usual, escapes while the innocent Bob is caught and convicted. Upon his release Bob meets Mae Edwards who gets him a job in her bank. When Dalton comes to the bank to case it for a robbery he runs into Bob and tries to recruit him as an accomplice. Bob, who has married Mae, refuses. Dalton causes him to lose his position and because of Dalton’s persistent efforts forces Bob to join the crook. Craig, shadowing Dalton, knows Bob is taking part against his will. Craig foils the robbery and after a motorboat chase Dalton is captured and exonerates Bob.
