Status-conscious Virginia Blaine marries Robert
Stafford, an alcoholic millionaire whom she does not love. Robert lavishes
gifts and money on her but, when drunk, he treats her as a mere
possession―something which he has "bought and paid for."
Virginia realizes that she did, indeed, sell herself
to the highest bidder, so she leaves Robert even though she has come to love
him. She supports herself as a shop girl until her brother-in-law, James
Gilley, tricks her and Robert into a meeting with each other, during which
Robert promises to reform, and the couple decides to try married life once
again. |
