Marion Taylor is secretary to Edward Mallory, a wealthy Wall Street businessman. She supports her invalid brother Tommy, who has been told by his doctors that he has to go to the mountains for his health. Marion doesn't have the money, but Mallory does. She resigns herself to submitting to his advances in order to get the money to keep her brother alive, but circumstances arise in which she may possibly get the funds without having to debase herself.

Maid Marian is represented in the cast as the daughter of Old Merwyn and it is at his house that the action begins. He introduces a rich gentleman as her prospective husband after displaying jewelry which the formal suitor has sent ahead with his declaration of love. Friar Tuck appears under the pretense of asking for alms and warns Marian that Robin is waiting at their meeting place.
