Plot

As described in a film magazine,[4] Doris Dumond (Binney) leaves the convent and joins her mother Mrs. Fabian Dumond (Roberts), who is being harassed by the villainous debt collector Ambrose Hammond (Grassby), at a fashionable hotel. A young millionaire, Phillip Carruthers (Mulhall), who loves her and whom she loves is also present. When Doris learns of her mother's difficulty she is moved by her subconscious mind to walk into the villain's room in her sleep. She awakens in Ambrose's hotel room, and discovery follows. Towards the next morning, Doris again walks in her sleep and, from a lofty window ledge, she rescues Mary (Edwards), the young daughter of another guest (Ridgely) who had seen Doris go into Ambrose's room and sought to disgrace her. In the end, all prior difficulties are disposed of.
