Helen Ware, who runs a house for gangsters, is raising the son of a dead convict, who is played by Douglas Fairbanks Jr. Ware has raised Fairbanks well, making sure that he was not influenced by her gangster friends. Ware even gets Fairbanks a job as press agent. Fairbanks falls in love with a chorus girl, played by Billie Dove. When Fairbanks announces his engagement to Dove, Ware becomes infuriated because she believes that a girl of her type will urge him on to a life of crime. Her premonitions come to fruition. John Loder, who is producing Dove's show, gives her an engagement party. Fairbanks is called to work, however, and Dove attends the party alone. Loder attempts to rape Dove and she shoots him in self-defence. Despite Dove's protests, Fairbanks confesses to the murder and is convicted for manslaughter. While Fairbanks is in prison, he writes a play for Dove. Dove tries to find a producer for the play but is turned down everywhere.

Three years later, unhappy in her marriage due to her husband's continued infidelity, she asks for and receives a divorce.

She allows Jack and his mother (Charlotte Walker), to retain custody of Millie's daughter, Connie (Anita Louise). Focusing on her career, she rises through the hierarchy of the hotel where she is employed, shunning the attention of the rich banker, Jimmy Damier (John Halliday), preferring the attentions of the reporter, Tommy Rock (Robert Ames), although, due to her prior sour relationship, refuses to marry. Eventually, Millie is promoted to the head of operations for the hotel. At the same time, Tommy is offered a lucrative position at the bank by Damier, as a favor to Millie.
