Plot
As described in a film magazine, the Brat (Nazimova), a chorus girl known by no other name, is discharged from the Summer Garden chorus when she refuses to submit to the advances of Stephen Forrester (Foss), a young waster. He follows her down the street and quarrel ensues, after which she is arrested. At court she is found by MacMillan Forrester (Bryant), her prosecutor's elder brother, who is a novelist in search of an underworld character to study. The judge allows her to go to his home to live for that purpose. Here her unvarnished manner cause Forrester's fiancee and her father, as well as Mrs. Forrester (Veness), much uneasiness. The Brat keeps Stephen's record a secret out of respect for his brother. When the novel is finished and the Brat is about to leave, Stephen attempts to rob MacMillan's safe and the Brat takes the blame. Stephen then makes a clean breast of the affair which exonerates the Brat, and MacMillan's fiancee releases him to marry the woman he has learned to love.
