- Determined that his son, Charles, will not be ruined by love for Jocelyn Margot, the daughter of a notorious San Francisco madam, John Jordan, a stern and proud businessman, sends him to manage one of the family plantations in the Tropics. Before he goes, however, Charles marries Jocelyn and takes her with him. The elder Jordan does not forgive this insult to the family name and position, but Jocelyn proves to be an excellent wife and bears Charles a son. After 4 years, Jordan, unrelenting, sends his personal manager, Wingate, to the Tropics to buy off Jocelyn. As Wingate arrives, Charles dies of a fever; Jocelyn then becomes determined that her son, as the Jordan heir, will receive all the advantages of that family's name and fortune. Returning to San Francisco, she is ignored by Jordon and out of spite decides to reopen her mother's whorehouse under the Jordan name. After inviting the best of local society to the grand opening, she relents and abandons the scheme; Jordan, who finally realizes her basic worth, then recognizes her son as his heir, and Wingate, who has fallen in love with her, takes Jocelyn and the small boy into his home.—AFI
