Based upon a description in a film publication, Katherine Van Riper (Clayton) is an extravagant young society girl who is very much in debt, and her wealthy aunts and uncle refuse to give her any money. Katherine is desperate enough that she is considering marrying the wealthy Montee Buck (Hiers), although she is in love with the westerner Tom Jaffrey (Fillmore), who says he is poor. Finally, Katherine decides to sell the famous Van Riper pearls, pay off her debts, and marry Tom. However, upon examination the jewelry turns out to be paste, with her father having sold the genuine pearls several years earlier before his death. Montee is assured by the aunts that Katherine will marry him and tells this to Tom. Tom is about to leave town when Uncle James (Ricketts) steps in and pays off Katherine's debts, leaving the niece free to marry Tom.

Veuve d'un officier hongrois, Gida vit avec ses sept filles dans la maison de garnison d'une petite ville de province. Les filles sont toutes à marier et, selon l’usage hongrois, il faut qu’elles se marient par ordre d'âge. Si l'une des plus jeunes se mariait avant ses sœurs plus âgées, on regarderait ces dernières comme des vieilles filles et auraient le plus grand mal à trouver un mari.
