Synopsis

Letty Shell, une fille de modeste condition, aspire à trouver un riche époux qui la ferait s'élever socialement. Quand elle rencontre Nevill Letchmore, elle concentre toutes ses cartes sur lui. Croyant l'aimer, elle fait tout pour le conquérir. Elle insiste encore, même lorsqu'elle découvre que l'homme est déjà marié. D'autres opportunités se présentent cependant à elle : elle accepte que son patron, Mandeville, lui fasse la cour, celui-ci voulant l'épouser. Mais l'homme s'avère trop rude, et après avoir accepté une invitation au restaurant, Letty retourne vers Letchmere. Cela prendra un certain temps à Letty pour se rendre compte que ses valeurs sont dépourvues de probité. Après un incident qui irrite Letchmere, mais révèle son mépris d'une classe sociale inférieure, elle finit par comprendre qu'elle ferait mieux d'épouser un homme qu'elle aime vraiment. C'est ainsi qu'elle se tournera vers Richard Perry, un jeune photographe désargenté, qui devra travailler dur pour s'en sortir, mais finalement aidé par la fortune d'un oncle riche.
