Stephanie Despard–beautiful, yet unconscious of her beauty-is a pawn in the hands of her father, Gustave Despard – a gentleman gambler. Eager to escape the degrading lot which is hers, she is unable to accomplish this until the appearance on the scene of young Dudley Wroxted, whose cleverness and perception triumph over Despard’s insidious and subtle power.
