Plot
As described in a film magazine reviews,[4] Bob Mannering is riding in a motor car with others when the car hits and kills a woman. He is accused of causing the death. His father, district attorney John Mannering, decides to prosecute Bob for homicide. Bob’s mother, to prevent the prosecution of her fast-living son, tries to cause her husband’s political ruin by causing a scandal. She goes to a hotel with a crook who is in the employ of Mannering’s political rival, Jerry Wallace. She is double crossed and, to escape utter disgrace, flees to a secluded hotel that becomes engulfed in a forest fire. During the progress of the fire, she meets Diane, who confesses that it was she who was driving the death car. Mrs. Mannering returns to her family and Bob is freed.
