Eve Leslie is a poor country girl, who wishes she could have fine clothes, motors and wealthy friends. The person she envies most is Betty Howard, a famous actress. Eve does not know that Betty's life has been full of sorrow, that for years she has been seeking a certain man and has found him, only to learn that he is a desperate criminal, who, misunderstanding her kindnesses, attempts to blackmail her. Her hard work, too, has affected her health and her physician has ordered her to give up the stage to take a long rest. Betty longs for just the sort of life that Eve is leading. Through Adam Moore, son of a rich man, Eve hears much of Betty Howard, who is a "pal" of Adam's. One day Betty is motoring with Stanton Skinner, an unscrupulous man, who wants her to marry him. Betty collapses and is taken to Eve's home, which is nearby, they become friends. Rocco Erwin, the man Betty has been seeking, attempts to rob Skinner, is caught, and is released only upon Betty's pleas. She tells Skinner who Rocco is. Rocco, himself, does not know. Rocco later comes to Betty for more money, is refused, and throttles her and flees, leaving her for dead. Skinner, who has fallen in love with Eve, invites her aboard his yacht. Rocco follows Skinner to the yacht, where Eve has gone. Rocco asks Skinner to help him escape. Skinner refuses and Rocco attacks him. Rocco learns that Betty is his sister, and attempts to slay Skinner, while Eve crouches nearby frantic with terror. Betty recovers, learns where Eve has gone, and, with Adam to help her, follows to the yacht. In exciting scenes Adam and Betty rescue Eve from her peril and she rests securely in Adam's arms, envious no longer. - IMDb
