- Mme. De Solanges, a wealthy society matron, spends much time and money in speculating on the stock market. Her daughter, Louise, attends a college of medicine. She is engaged to Marc Devernis, son of a banker, who is a member of the Aero Club. Learning of a venture which offers interest on an investment, Mme. de Solanges disposes of her stock to speculate in the new venture. Devernis advises her not to invest in the proposition. She desires to secure large returns and plunges all. The head of the new company absconds with the entire funds. This means ruin for Mme. de Solanges. Louise is forced to give up her studies. She applies to her professor, Dr. Harranger, who secures a position for her as a trained nurse. The banker informs Mme. de Solanges that the changed circumstances would compel him to break the engagement between her daughter and his son. This only serves to spur Marc's determination to marry Louise. He enters an aviation contest which offers a prize of $50,000 to the winner. Near the finish his aeroplane turns turtle and plunges to the ground. Marc is carried unconscious to the field hospital, where Louise is acting as a nurse. For many days his life is despaired of, but he finally recovers. Marc's father still withholds his consent to the marriage. Marc receives an offer to join the government aviation corps, which offers a handsome income. He writes Louise, telling her of this. She replies requesting him not to risk his life again, but to act in accordance with his father's wishes and forget her. This letter is found and read by the banker, who is shocked to learn that Marc would again enter such a dangerous occupation. He protests to Marc, who informs him it would be necessary to make a position in life for himself in order to marry the girl. Moved by the affection of the lovers and alarmed at his son, the banker gives his consent to the marriage and offers Marc a position in the bank. Marc is delighted and loses no time in telling Louise of their fortune.—Moving Picture World synopsis
