== Plot ==
Andrew Ferris, is the butler to Daniel Milton, a wealthy man who, due to the death of his daughter, is being killed by his own mind. His guilty conscious preys on him due to his previous poor treatment of his daughter, and believes that her child is still alive. To ease his mind, Milton introduces his chorus girl daughter, Celia Hughes, as his employer's long lost granddaughter. Believing that Celia is his granddaughter, and her believing that Milton is her grandfather, she becomes the heiress to a mansion and a great fortune.

Celia discovers her real father burning letters which reveal that she is not Daniel Milton's granddaughter. She becomes fearful that she would lose his favor, and returns to the stage where she finds success. On opening night, Ferris is accidentally shot by a jilted secretary, and confesses duplicity to Milton before dying.

== Reception ==
[The Film Daily](/source/The_Film_Daily)'s review was generally positive, finding the competent acting and direction enough to save the film from its story and "jumpy continuity." The reviewer praised Corinne Griffith's acting in particular, saying of her role "she succeeds in doing with charm and assurance."<ref>{{Cite book |last= |first= |url=http://archive.org/details/widsfilmdomjanma19wids |title=Wid's Filmdom |date= |publisher=Wid's Films and Film Folks, Inc. |others= |location=New York City |publication-date=January 22, 1922 |pages=5 |language=en}}</ref>

[Exhibitor's Herald](/source/Motion_Picture_Herald) gave a similar review, also saying that "The title of the film is a misnomer and doesn't do justice to a pleasing picture."<ref>{{Cite book |last= |url=http://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald14exhi |title=Exhibitors Herald |last2= |date= |publisher=Martin J.
