A Southern belle's flirtation with a working man leads to tragedy.

Plot

Norma Besant, daughter of a Southern doctor, is an incorrigible flirt and has many boys on her string.

When Michael returns after a long absence, the pair are innocently compromised, and Dr. Besant's old-South paternal rage brings tragedy.
