Plot
Frank Rodie emerges as a very successful divorce lawyer, embittered after his own wife tricks him into innocently appearing as a
co-respondent in a case and then divorcing him so she could marry a wealthy
stockbroker. His wife turns their daughter Judith against him and, now with her husband in financial difficulties, she is spending money that Frank sends for their daughter. He manages to get even by trapping his wife into a compromising situation after her husband sues for divorce. Finally, Frank is called in to save his daughter's reputation when she is dragged into a divorce case, eventually winning her appreciation.
