Plot
As described in a film magazine,{{cite journal |title=Reviews: Reputation |journal=Exhibitors Herald |volume=5 |issue=11 |publisher=Exhibitors Herald Company |date=September 8, 1917 |location=New York |page=[https://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald05exhi/page/n38 29] |url=https://archive.org/details/exhibitorsherald05exhi}} Constance Bennett (Goodrich) is determined to make sufficient money to set her aunt up in business before her marriage, so she goes to New York City to work as a model in a cloak house. The manager Edmund Berste (Goldsmith), who has a jealous wife (Lee), takes a liking to Constance. The wife learns of this and goes to Constance's home town and denounces her. When Constance returns home, no one will have anything to do with her, so she returns to New York where her former employer Berste sets a trap for her. In order to save herself, Constance shoots Berste. However, at the trial she is acquitted, and shortly thereafter she and John Clavering (Hinckley) are married.
