Justine Gibbs (Mae Murray) is a very romantic young woman who is in line to inherit a fortune. She is engaged to Ralph Gaylor, who only wants her for her money. But Justine is unaware of this; she only wishes he were more romantic, like her favorite author, Hartley Poole (Sam T. Hardy). Things get complicated when Poole actually shows up in Justine's town. She makes sure she gets to know him, and he uses her as research for his latest book. What he doesn't realize is that he's gradually falling in love with her. Finally he figures it out and Gaylor, with his callous machinations, is left out in the cold.
