Raised in a boarding house by her grandmother, who eventually is killed in a fire, Diana first marries an actor and boarding house tenant named Neal Tressady. Neal leaves her for an actress. After a divorce she reunites with wealthy Bruce Palmer and they are secretly married, but the marriage turns out to be invalid. Just as they find this out, Bruce is killed in a polo match. Penniless and pregnant, Diana runs into Neal, who marries her again, but things are not good. Then Peter Platt, an old friend, reenters the picture, loving Diana. At the same time, Neal's actress girlfriend shows up again. Neal shoots himself and we are left knowing that Peter will care for Diana and her baby.
