Although Dolores Jardine's grandmother has engaged her to the wealthy young Spaniard, Pedro De Alvarez, she is determined to marry a man of her own choosing. She falls in love with novelist Richard Ferris who, although initially attracted by her beauty and Creole charm, abandons the girl when his old flame Lillian Hetherington suddenly appears. Seeking revenge, Dolores invites Richard to dinner and conceals Lillian behind a curtain. After overhearing Richard promise to marry Dolores, Lillian leaves in disgust and Dolores wanders into the woods distraught. Pedro prevents her from drowning herself and takes her to his heart.
