Cordelia the Magnificent

Cordelia, called "The Magnificent" by her friends because of her brains and charm, is reduced suddenly to poverty. Rather than marry Jerry Plimpton merely for money she goes to work. Innocently she gets information regarding one of her friend's family skeletons for a swindling lawyer. The lawyer then threatens to expose her unless she marries him. Plimpton no longer wants her when he hears the truth. The situation becomes complicated, with a startling revelation made by a man whom Cordelia meets as a butler in her friend's house, and turns suspicion in the right direction. This story became a Metro movie in 1923.
