Eve's Daughter

After the death of her tyrannical millionaire father, rebellious Irene Simpson-Bates decides to have a fling with her relatively meager inheritance of $15,000. Leaving her straitlaced sweetheart John Norton behind, Irene goes to New York, where she falls under the spell of unscrupulous Courtenay Urquhart. Although he has no intention of actually marrying Irene, Urquhart persuades her to elope with him and signs them into a hotel as husband and wife. Determined to save the woman he loves, John tricks Urquhart into believing that his British uncle has just left him a large inheritance. The loafer immediately sails for England, and Irene returns to John, her eyes opened and her reputation as yet untainted.
