Sheila Fairfax, brought up by puritanical spinster Aunt Prissie, is the innocent victim of a scandalous all-night escapade, caused by a car breakdown, with Ramon José Gonzales. In spite of her undeserved reputation, Dick Morris, a mining engineer, marries her. On their wedding night, Sheila is so filled with fear of Dick's embraces that she pushes him away. Thinking Sheila does not love him, Dick travels to South America to buy a mine from Don Alfonso Castillar. Sheila follows, hoping to win him back, realizing that the influence of her repressed aunt is responsible for the false modesty that separated them. Dick and Sheila become the guests of Don Alfonso, uncle of Ramon José. Don Alfonso and Ramon José vie for her attention, and Alfonso kills Ramon José in a fight. Dick faces a firing squad under Alfonso's orders, but Sheila saves him by a ruse. The two escape together, reunited in love. ...
